Season the chicken with complete seasoning, paprika, all-purpose seasoning, Maggi chicken cubes, chicken seasoning, ginger garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Massage the seasonings into the chicken and allow it to marinate for 2-3 hours.

Caramelize the brown sugar in a pot until it reaches a slight dark brown color, then add the marinated chicken and mix well.

Add tomato paste to the chicken and allow it to fry to reduce acidity.

Add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger to the pot and mix well.

Add chopped tomatoes and cover the pot, allowing it to simmer for about 10 minutes.

Stir the mixture and add chopped carrots and potatoes, then add water to cover the ingredients.

Cover the pot and allow the potatoes to become tender.

Once the potatoes are halfway cooked, add chopped peppers, cilantro, and green onions, and stir well.

Add chopped parsley and check that the sauce has thickened; the stew is done.
