This was a very simple dish to prepare with excellent taste, especially if you like spicy food. I used a citrus based Mojo Crillio to marinate the chicken, and 4-5 shakes of scotch bonnet hot sauce to replace the fresh scotch bonnet. I also added some fresh jalapenos to the onions, garlic and ginger in the skillet with the chicken. We truly loved the flavor of this dish. If I make this again, I think that I would marinate the chicken as instructed, but then grill it instead of braising it, which sometimes makes chicken a little tough unless cooked for a long time. I'd saute the vegetables and spices in some oil, and add some of the marinade to make a nice sauce to put on top the grilled chicken. However you make it, it's a real caribbean treat.

Since April 2008, I have been a vegetarian. I dont eat creatures...that's the easiest way to put it! :D
I still eat a small amount of dairy, but not very much.
I have been missing around here for a while, and hope to poke my head in a bit more often from now on...
I hope you enjoy my recipes...
