Slow Cooker Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken — An incredibly rich-in-flavor all time Jamaican classic- Jamaican Brown Chicken Sauce right in your slow cooker.

Slow Cooker Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken

 

Ok …so I know it’s not exactly pull out the crock-pot weather for some folks but I just can’t help but share this slow cooker brown stewed chicken with you. There is so much to love here. I can’t begin to tell you how much am in love with this brown stew chicken.  The chicken marinate alone would have you hooked from the get go. This will make your taste buds happy and true to my kind of recipes, you don’t need napkins. Because you are going to lick your fingers clean and nibble on the bones.  

 

Slow Cooker Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken

Nobody is watching anyways! And who cares if they are watching. They will quickly follow your lead before the meal is over. Can you tell I have tons of experience in this domain? Grab a seat while I tell you about this classic Jamaican Brown stew. Chicken on the bone is marinated with an aromatic blend of spices (ginger, garlic, thyme, pepper, green onions, overnight (preferably) browned to enhance its flavor, then slowly simmered in a fragrant sauce of garlic, herbs, bell peppers, ketchup, onions. Yep! Really tasty! It’s straightforward and a snap to put together. Don’t be deterred by the ingredients.

Slow Cooker Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken

 

Traditionally, it is made with whole parts of chicken.However, I prefer chicken thighs – ease of preparation, rich meaty flavor and most important they can easily withstand the longer cooking time and emerge meltingly tender.

If you don’t own a slow cooker, you can always make this on stove top too, it’s just that easy and practical. Just follow the same instructions and instead of adding everything into the pot, you add some stock, bring it to a boil and then reduce the heat and let it simmer. Easy! Pair it with this rice and peas or this coconut rice and you are all set. Want a quicker version? Check out this brown stew chicken here.

Tips and Notes:

  • When adding chicken, it is a great idea to brown the chicken first, for a few minutes, sauté the garlic, onions stove top, before adding to the crockpot. Small step = huge flavors.
  • If you want to throw everything in the crockpot and cook away, that’s fine too. I tried it and it wasn’t bad at all. But I prefer the former.
  • Jamaican Browning sauce aka burnt sugar is a favorite West Indian condiment use in most households to add, sweetness and color in stews, soups, and even cakes.
  •  It’s available in Caribbean Markets, Wal-Mart and even some supermarkets. Don’t sweat it! You can certainly make this without burnt sugar

        Yes, you can. Adjust your instant cooker to “high” on the slow cooker function and cook for as long as the recipe states PLUS an additional 15 minutes for every hour.

    I do not love to cook but I have been making your recipe for over 2 years and love it every single time! Even my very picky teens look forward to it when I make it! There are lot of ingredients but most are already in my cabinet/fridge and it really is a cheap meal and easy to prepare but delicious!! I allow chicken to marinate at least 24 hours and the flavors are incredible and even better as leftovers the next day. I am finally going to try other recipes from your site (dont know why I haven’t done that yet). Any favorites that you would suggest? Thank you so so much for one of my all time favorite recipes!

    Thanks to Covid I was home and desperate to find something different to do with chicken breasts. This was the first recipe I found although I did not use a slow cooker. The list of ingredients looks long it is very easy and quick to pull together especially using a cast iron pan to brown the chicken. I used a separate saucepan to cook the onion/pepper mix. I gave it four stars because my husband felt it needed something. He added some sriracha and thought it made a great addition but he likes everything with heat. I will definitely make this on a regular basis- my gut feeling is pineapple would be an amazing finish on the dish–or maybe put pinepapple in the rice once it is cooked. Thanks so much for this recipe!!

    Authentic and DELICIOUS! My parents are Jamaican so we ate brown stew chicken for dinner most Sundays. I didn’t realize that’s what it was though, my mom always called it “cook up chicken”. Tasting this brought back so many memories. Definitely adding this to my rotation!

    Wonderful! I cooked on low for 6 hours since I was going to be out of the house all day. It went wonderful with the Carribean rice, and the house smelled soooo good. It also makes excellent leftovers—a great meal prep idea. Definitely follow Imma’s advice to marinate the meat and to first brown the ingredients suggested.

      Hi Mary. Browning sauce aka burnt sugar is a condiment use in most Caribbean households to add sweetness and color in stews,soups, and even cakes. You can find it in Caribbean markets and even in Walmart.

    Followed the recipe except for Browning sauce and green onions. It still turned out great! Hubby requested this dish and he liked it.

      HI, Natasha. Thanks for the kind words. I don’t have it exactly the “Ghana” way but this is the closest (and easier) I have >>> https://www.africanbites.com/jellof-riceoven-baked/ and https://www.africanbites.com/jellof-rice/ . Please let me know how it turns out for you. 🙂

    I’m not sure how to get rid of the 2 stars on my rating! That was an accident. I haven’t tried the dish yet, but it seems like a 5 star to me

      Hi, Jill. I’ve tried dumping everything in the crockpot too and it wasn’t bad at all. As for missing those two ingredients, there’d be a slight difference in flavor and aroma. But it’d work fine.

    This recipe looks great. I am cooking your Slow Cooker Tuscan Chicken Stew right now. I have a question. When I cook with thighs, it takes so long for the prep because my boneless & skinless chicken thighs always have so much fat that I trim off as best I can. Am I being to fussy about trimming the fat or is their a trick to trimming the fat that will reduced the prep time? I’m thinking about using chicken breasts next time.

      It happens to me too! I usually trim the visible fat , to avoid excess oil. Then pan brown the chicken on each side, discard the excess fat and scoop out excess oil , if any after cooking . With that said, if you discard the skin it would make a HUGE difference. Hope this helps

    This looks delicious and will definitely give this a go this week! Can you pressure cook instead and if so for how long?

      Thanks ! Cook it for about 7 minutes or more , depending on how well you like your chicken – The recommended time is between 8-10 minutes.
