Island Style Chicken Stew Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl combine chicken breasts, jalepeno, green onions, garlic, tomatoes, coconut milk, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, thyme, leeks, and salt and pepper. Let marinate for about an hour.
• 2. In a medium dutch oven, warm olive oil. Add chicken breasts and brown on each side (about 3 minutes per side). Remove breasts and chop into small chunks.
• 3. Add chicken back to the dutch oven and pour marinade over top. Add in bouillon, red onion, carrots, red wine, and sriracha sauce. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Place habanero, thyme, garlic, ginger, light parts of green onions, brown sugar, black pepper, kosher salt, smoked paprika, allspice, and vinegar for marinade into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
• Make 2 slices into the skin side of each thigh, perpendicular to the bone, about 1 inch apart, cutting all the way down to the bone. Add chicken thighs to the marinade and toss thoroughly until evenly coated. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the chicken and transfer to the refrigerator, 12 hours or overnight. If possible, toss several times during the marinating time.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade. Scrape off any chunks of marinade from chicken into the bowl and reserve for later.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, deep, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until almost smoking hot. Add chicken and brown well on both sides, about 5 minutes, working in batches if necessary. Once all the chicken is browned, remove to the marinade bowl and reserve.
• Heat the same pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt; saute in the fat until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon brown sugar and cook until everything caramelizes and turns a dark brown, 3 to 5 minutes more.
• Carefully add chicken broth, ketchup, and bay leaves to the pan; bring to a boil. Add carrots, bell peppers, browned chicken thighs, and reserved marinade.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and no longer pink in the centers, and the sauce has reduced and thickened, 1 to 1 1/2 hours, skimming the excess fat that comes to the top and basting the chicken with the sauce occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning. Toss in reserved sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook chicken, onion and garlic in olive oil for 5-7 minutes in a hot skillet.
• Melt butter in a large stock pot and add the flour, stirring constantly for 2 minutes to make a roux. Add 4 cups of 1/2 and 1/2 and whisk until smooth. Add chicken stock, papaya, sweet potatoes, red pepper, scotch bonnet pepper, curry paste, grated ginger, zante currents, coconut, orange zest, orange juice, marjoram, salt, pepper, and wine and simmer for 1/2 hour.
• Steam spaghetti squash for 10-15 minutes and scrape out into a bowl.
• Mound squash into a bowl or deep plate, ladle some chicken stew around it, top with sour cream and sprinkle on grated coconut, mango and papaya.

Steps:

• Preheat grill or cast iron grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Remove any excess fat from chicken and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Use a pastry brush to brush with olive oil and season with 1 1/2 teaspoons jerk seasoning and salt, if desired. Set aside.
• Drain pineapple slices and reserve juice. Season both sides of pineapple slices with 1/2 teaspoon of jerk seasoning; set aside.
• In small saucepan, bring reserved pineapple juice, remaining 1/4 teaspoon jerk seasoning, and brown sugar to a boil over high heat. Reduce liquid by 1/2, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Just before grilling, oil grate. Place chicken breasts on grate and grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove to platter and tent with foil.
• Place pineapple slices on grate and grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side until grill marks appear and pineapple is heated through.
• Serve chicken breasts with pineapple slices and warm sauce.
• NOTE: Chicken may also be broiled 4 to 6 inches from heat source for 6 to 8 minutes per side. Broil pineapple 1 to 2 minutes per side.
