Brown Stew Chicken
Brown stew chicken is a Jamaican dish where chicken pieces are marinated in a savory blend of aromatics and spices, then browned and simmered until tender. The marinade, brightened with lime and deepened with soy sauce, forms the base of the stew. Coconut milk and cornstarch thicken the sauce, creating a rich, glossy finish. It's a dish that comes together fairly quickly once the marinating is done, making it a good choice for a weeknight if you prep ahead.
