Introduce the recipe and ingredients.

Clean the chicken using lime and vinegar to remove impurities, then rinse it.

Prepare the apiece spice blend by blending scallions, thyme, parsley, garlic, scotch bonnet pepper, and vinegar or sour orange.

Marinate the chicken with the apiece, ensuring it is well coated, and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight.

Heat canola oil in a hot pan for searing the chicken.

Sear the marinated chicken until browned on both sides, then set aside.

Prepare a bouquet garni with scallions, parsley stems, thyme, garlic cloves, scotch bonnet pepper, cloves, and whole black pepper, and tie it up.

In the same pan, add tomato paste and cook it down, then deglaze with chicken stock.

Once the liquid is boiling, add the bouquet garni, salt, pepper, and cashew powder.

Transfer everything to a pressure cooker and pour the sauce on top.

Add peppers and onions to the pressure cooker and simmer for a few minutes before serving.
