Add chicken, all-purpose spice blend, chopped onions, chicken seasoning, and salt to a pot; stir together and cover to cook for about 10 minutes in its own juices.

Check on the chicken after 10 minutes, stir, and add enough water to cook until preferred tenderness.

Chop tomatoes, green bell pepper, spring onions, and Habanero pepper; dice red onions and set aside.

Fry the chicken in an air fryer for about 10 minutes with coconut oil for extra flavor.

In a separate pot, add coconut oil and chopped onions; fry until translucent, then add tomato paste and stir, frying for about 5 minutes on medium-low heat.

Add all chopped ingredients to the pot; optionally blend before adding.

Add a little water to help the tomatoes cook.

Blend the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender or regular blender, being careful not to touch the bottom of the pot.

Cover and cook on medium-low heat until oil begins to settle on top.

Add the cooked chicken and stock to the pot; stir and cover, cooking on medium-low heat until everything is ready.
