Clean and wash the chicken, then chop it into small bite-sized pieces.

Add chopped onion, scallion, thyme, scotch bonnet pepper, garlic, paprika, black pepper, chicken seasoning, all-purpose seasoning, and browning to the chicken.

Combine all the seasonings well with the chicken.

Cover the chicken and place it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to marinate.

Heat vegetable oil in a pot over low to medium heat until hot.

Add the marinated chicken to the pot and cover it, allowing it to cook down without adding water until it springs its own water.

Stir the chicken in the pot to combine and check for seasoning, adding more if necessary.

Once the chicken is almost finished cooking, add a little ketchup and more chopped onion, scallion, thyme, and garlic.

If desired, add potato cubes and allow everything to cook down for another 5 to 6 minutes until the potatoes are slightly firm.
