Stew Chicken Seasoning

MaMajestic Jamaican Stew Chicken: One-Step Island Comfort

There’s something deeply comforting about Jamaican stew chicken — the kind of dish that fills the kitchen with warmth long before the first bite. The slow sizzle of seasoned chicken hitting hot oil, the rich aroma of browning sauce, the rhythm of stirring as the sauce thickens — it’s a recipe that feels like home.

Traditionally, stew chicken takes a bit of practice — balancing seasonings, getting that perfect dark caramel color, and coaxing the chicken to become tender and flavorful all the way through. But with MaMajestic Stew Chicken Seasoning, that authentic taste and texture come together effortlessly.

This is the one-step version of Jamaica’s beloved classic — deep flavor, real spice, and the unmistakable richness of slow-cooked stew, made simple enough for any kitchen. Whether you’re cooking for family, friends, or just treating yourself, it’s the kind of dish that makes every meal feel special.

Flavor Profile

• Taste: Deep, savory, slightly smoky with hints of pimento, thyme, and caramelized spice

• Texture: Tender chicken coated in rich, dark stew gravy

• Pairs With: White rice, rice and peas, fried plantain, or boiled dumplings

Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken (cut and cleaned)

• 50g MaMajestic Stew Chicken Seasoning

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or oil of your choice)

• Optional: A dash of browning to darken the stew

• Hot water (enough to come halfway up the chicken in the pot)

Directions

1. Season the chicken: Sprinkle MaMajestic Stew Chicken Seasoning over the cleaned chicken. Massage to coat evenly. For deeper flavor, let marinate for 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

2. Brown the chicken:

   • Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (or your preferred oil) to a large frying pan or pot.

   • Heat on medium-high until the oil is hot.

   • Add the seasoned chicken and let it cook for about 5 minutes without moving.

   • Flip the pieces and cook the other side for 4–5 minutes, or until both sides are darkened.
     This step both sears the chicken for flavor and gives it that signature brown color.

3. Build the stew:

   • Pour in hot water until it reaches just over halfway up the chicken.

   • Stir gently to combine and dissolve the seasoning into the sauce.

   • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low.

4. Simmer:

   • Let the chicken stew for 45 minutes, flipping the pieces after about 30 minutes.

   • The sauce will thicken and deepen in color as it cooks. For an even darker gravy, add a small splash of browning sauce near the end.

5. Serve:

   • Plate your stew chicken with rice and peas, white rice, or boiled dumplings.

   • Spoon some of the rich stew gravy over the top — that’s where the magic is.
