Add 4 tablespoons of A Piece seasoning to the chicken.

Add 1 Maggi cube, Goya seasoning, ground black pepper, ground cloves, and complete seasoning to the chicken.

Add half a lime juice to the chicken mixture.

Add parsley, thyme, and a whole scotch bonnet pepper to the chicken.

Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for about 4 hours.

Prepare vegetables: cut green and red bell peppers, carrots, and okra.

Cut the tips of the okra and slightly cut the middle for sauce absorption.

Place all vegetables on top of the marinated chicken in a pot.

Add some water, butter, and a little oil to prevent burning.

Cover the pot tightly with foil and cook for about 45 minutes without peeking.
