This isnt how you make Jamaican Stew Chicken. We dont put capers, black beans, crushed red pepper flakes, wine or curry powder in it.

Great recipe. I've added this to my list of one-pot dishes (if you don't count the rice). I went overboard on the curry, red pepper, garlic and all spice measures and enjoyed the result. Didn't need any salt.

Wow! This has lots of flavor. The only thing missing was some salt. I made as posted. Came out delicious. Served it with a side of corn bread and dinner was ready. This is quick and easy to prepare.What more can you ask for. Thanks for posting.

MMMMMMMMMM!!! Great recipe for all to try! I love Jerk Chicken so I doubled the spices and made lots of rice for leftovers. Came out perfect!
