STEW PEAS / STEW PEASE RECIPE with CHICKEN

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: milk + coconut extract

Light coconut milk reduces calories while still providing coconut flavor.

red kidney beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Canned beans are often less expensive and save time.

Soak the red kidney beans overnight in water.

Drain and rinse the beans, then place them in a large pot with fresh water.

Add the chicken pieces to the pot with the beans and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove the chicken and set aside, leaving the beans in the pot.

Add coconut milk, thyme, scallions, garlic, onion, allspice, black pepper, and salt to the pot.

Stir to combine and cook for another 15 minutes until the beans are tender.

Return the chicken to the pot along with carrots and bell pepper.

Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Adjust seasoning with lime juice and additional salt if needed.

Serve hot with rice or dumplings.
