How I Make "Authentic" Belizean Food (Stew Chicken, Potato Salad, Rice & Beans + Fried Plantain)

chicken

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Turkey is leaner, while chicken thighs are more affordable.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point, while canola oil is less expensive.

scotch bonnet pepper

🥗Healthier: jalapeño

💰Cheaper: bell pepper

Jalapeños provide heat, while bell peppers add sweetness.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable broth is lighter, while seasoned water is cost-effective.

Marinate chicken with onion powder, cajun seasoning, garlic pepper seasoning, real garlic, white onions, green peppers, meat tenderizer, curry powder, black pepper, and parsley flakes; let sit in the fridge.

Peel and cube potatoes, then boil them in salted water.

Add canned peas and carrots to the potato salad mixture.

Boil eggs for potato salad, setting a timer for 20 minutes.
