scotch bonnet pepper

💰Cheaper: jalapeño pepper

chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu is a plant-based option; chicken thighs are more economical.

Boil water in a large pot over medium heat.

Add chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove chicken, let cool, then shred into bite-sized pieces.

In the same pot, add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Add diced green and red bell peppers, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in diced tomatoes, carrots, and celery; cook for another 5 minutes.

Add thyme, bay leaves, black pepper, and salt; stir to combine.

Return shredded chicken to the pot, then add lime juice and scotch bonnet pepper.

Simmer for 20-30 minutes to meld flavors, stirring occasionally.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed; remove bay leaves before serving.

Serve hot with rice or bread.
