HOW TO MAKE JAMAICAN STEW PEAS WITH CHICKEN Featuring @jodycookingg

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: milk + coconut extract

Light coconut milk reduces calories while still providing coconut flavor.

red kidney beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Canned beans are often less expensive and save time.

Soak red kidney beans overnight and rinse them.

Season the chicken with 2 tbsp chicken seasoning, 1 tbsp lri seasoning salt, 1 tbsp garlic granules, 1 tbsp onion granules, and 1 tbsp jerk seasoning.

Add 3 tbsp green seasoning to the chicken and rub it all over the pieces, cutting the chicken legs in two and thighs in three pieces.

Set the seasoned chicken aside to marinate for at least 2-4 hours.

Pressure cook the soaked beans until mostly cooked, about 30 minutes once the pressure cooker starts making noise.

In a large pot, add oil and 3 tsp brown sugar to caramelize it.

Brown the chicken in the caramelized sugar, flipping to brown both sides.

Push the chicken aside and add the pieces without bones last, stirring to combine everything.

Cover the pot for 5 minutes to allow the chicken to release its juices.

Make the dough for Spinners by mixing flour, salt, and water, kneading it until combined.

Add thyme, onion, sweet pepper, scallions, garlic, and Scotch bonnet pepper to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes.

Add the cooked beans to the pot, controlling the amount of liquid added from the beans.

Cover the pot and cook for 15 minutes to combine flavors.

Add coconut milk and the remaining thyme, onion, sweet pepper, garlic, and scallions, mixing well.

Cover and cook for 10 minutes, tasting and adjusting seasoning with salt as needed.

Add the Spinners by rolling pieces of dough and dropping them into the pot.
