chicken

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: pork

Turkey is leaner, while pork can be less expensive.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable broth reduces sodium while adding flavor.

Start with dark meat chicken, peel off the skin, and rinse it clean.

Chop the chicken into smaller pieces if desired, but leave them whole for portion control.

Prepare the marinade using a mortar and pestle to blend fresh ginger, garlic, thyme, and allspice.

Add 1/4 cup of brown sugar, juice of 1 lime, 1/4 cup of low sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of Walkerwood jerk paste, chicken bouillon powder, and 1 tablespoon of Browning sauce to a large mixing bowl.

Mix the marinade well and add a little olive oil or avocado oil.

Massage the marinade into the chicken thoroughly and let it marinate for 30 minutes to 24 hours, preferably 2 to 24 hours for best flavor.

Prepare the vegetables: use green onion, yellow onion, carrots, bell pepper, and optionally habanero for extra spice.

Braise the chicken with the whole habanero for added flavor without excessive heat.
