Jamaican Chicken Stew
Very tasty and easy to make. Another favorite of mine from cooking light. I generally use more curry powder and add jamaican hot sauce.

1 pot, 1 hour = simple, incredibly tasty vegetarian meal. Truly a delightful change from ordinary lentil stew or soup. Make sure you have a hunk of great bread to sop up the stew juices or you’ll end up using your fingers! Add a salad for a complete meal.
The peas in this aren’t really peas at all, but red beans. It is customary in the Caribbean to refer to beans as “peas”. This recipe uses coconut cream, but the flavor is mild and not overpowering–just enough to give a hint of island flavor. The scotch bonnet is not as fiery as you’d think as well, since it is added whole and not cut (to expose the seeds and membranes). If you want it hot, you can cut it open, but the dish has a mild flavor of chile overall. Great serving ideas for this recipe would include jerk chicken, calalou, conch chowder, beef patties, or curry. For dessert, I have served this with Caribbean Lime Mousse (recipe posted here).
Feijoada is the national dish of Brazil. It’s served everywhere in Brazil, from beach-side stands to the finest restaurants. This version captures the spirit of feijoada minus the meat. Chipotle pepper adds a hint of smoky heat.
