I added more curry and some garlic salt. Was very quick and tasty. Not quite like traditional brown stew chicken but my Jamaican husband gave it a thumbs up! -
Unimpressed. After reading all the other reviews, thought I'd try this recipe. It was rather bland. I added ALOT of salt & ended up topping with Red Hot sauce for more flavor. Liked the ingredients, just not the flavoring. Won't make it again. There are better ones out there for my palate. -
I gave it 4 stars as I had to add a lot more spices and garlic to make the flavor pop -
Tasty sauce but the sauce was watery/chicken wasnt tender as I had hoped it would be -
I made this for dinner tonight and I felt that the dish lacked dimension in terms of flavor. Perhaps it's the kind of dish that tastes better the second day after the flavors have had a chance to mingle for a bit. It wasn't bad, just tasted flat.

Ok, definitely did not taste like authentic brown stew chicken, which is more brown than red (hence the name :)), but it was still delicious. If you're looking for a recipe that's quick and tasty, give this a try! Oh, only real change I made was to use vinegar instead of wine. A great recipe, Nat! Even the kids enjoyed it. Thank you :)

My Extremely picky kids really enjoyed it, I used chicken wings instead of breast and used a capful of vinegar becuse i didn't have red wine and it came out great
