Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot over medium heat.

Add the seasoned chicken to the pot and fry for at least 5 minutes until browned; then remove the chicken from the pot.

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic; sauté for about 10 seconds.

Add the chopped tomato and bell peppers to the pot, followed by the scotch bonnet pepper; cook for at least 15 seconds.

Drain the can of callaloo and add it to the pot along with the chicken; mix everything together.

Add the chopped scallion and fresh thyme; cover the pot and let it cook for at least 8 minutes.
