Stewed Chicken (Stewed Hen)

Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken (Hen)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (or your choice)
  • 2 Bell peppers
  • 3 Habanero (rodo) adjust to your preference
  • 2 Teaspoons Red pepper flakes
  • 2 Big Onion (divided) or 3 small onions
  • 2 cloves garlic (divided)
  • 1 Teaspoon Fresh ginger
  • 2 Tablespoons Dried thyme (divided)
  • 2 Teaspoons Curry
  • Seasoning powder/cubes
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Clean the chicken (already cut into your desired sizes) remove any excess fat and rinse thoroughly but make sure no cross-contamination with any other food or objects while cleaning.

  2. In a big pot, season the chicken with thyme, curry, one garlic clove, onion, ginger, seasoning powder, salt. Add about a cup to 2 cups (depending on the quantity) of water to the chicken, cover with a lid, and cook until the chicken is fully cooked, add more water while cooking if you need to so the chicken doesn't burn while cooking it. Also, reserve some money broth and set aside.

    You might need to adjust the quantity for the seasonings depending on your chicken quantity you're cooking. So, keep that in mind.

  6. After the chicken is cooked, you can decide to fry or bake slightly or leave it as it is. I baked mine slightly. If you want to bake just add the cooked chicken to a lined baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes in the oven.
