Belize: Stew Chicken

CLICK HERE FOR THE RECIPE I USED

While I was making this, my husband pointed out that I've been making a lot of different stewed chicken recipes. He's not wrong. I really like chicken, a lot. And something about throwing all these things in a pot and letting them simmer and stew and fill the house with delicious aromas is very satisfying, to me.

This is another recipe where it seems every family has it's own version and it is endlessly customizable. I think, as long as you have the Recado Rojo (had to order it online) and chicken, you're on the right track.

Anyway, this was good! I was worried that it might turn out too spicy for me so I swapped a serrano pepper for the habanero and that was just right. I ate the chicken with Belizean Rice and Beans which is essentially jasmine rice cooked in coconut milk with red kidney beans. They were perfect together and I would eat this again.
