5 chicken legs and thighs
1 tablespoon of curry powder (Chief curry powder & Goya Adobe all purpose seasoning)*
1 tablespoon of all purpose seasoning 
8 sprigs of thyme, pull it off the stem
5 garlic pieces 
1 onion
3 scallions

Quarter of cup of chop green pepper
1 tablespoons of black pepper, adjust to your taste

Cut chicken into small pieces, wash , season , marinate over night with the ingredients.

Chop all the vegetables small.

On high heat, in a pot put some olive oil , about a tablespoon, I add a bit of butter too , but you can replace that with olive oil 

Add everything, keep stirring till the onions become soft, then add 3 cups of water, cook on medium heat.

Add one chicken stock cube, if you making coconut rice and beans don't add coconut milk, but if you are eating white rice, add coconut milk, and one cup of water.

*Adjust it to how much you are cooking, I don't measure mines , so I'm giving you it the best I can

**This dish is on the spicy side.  

Chief Curry Powder

This curry powder it the best.

• for every lb of meat use one tablespoon curry powder
• one large onion 
• 5 scallions chop up fine, (but before you chop them up, smash them with the knife, we do that to release the flavor)
• Half a cup of red bell pepper and green bell pepper chopped up small
• scotch bonnet pepper (if you cannot get them you can use habaneroes)
• 8 sprigs of Thyme , you don't have to take it off the steam, but if you like that, take it out at the end when it cooked. If you don't want to do that take chop the thyme up small
• 6 cloves of garlic
• one spoon of all purpose seasoning, if you can get the Jamaican Grace seasoning, will be better but if you can not just use Goya Adobo one.
• black pepper
• Salt to your taste 
• one chicken stock cube

All the vegetables have be chopped up small.

Marinate meat for 24 hrs with everything.

Heat pan with olive oil just to coat pan

On high heat put everything in pot, keep stirring until vegetable become soft

Then add water, reduce to medium heat. Add one chicken stock cube when you add water.

Goat usually takes about 2-3 hrs to cook , you know it's done when meat comes away from the bones.

The water will reduce down, into a sauce. Enjoy.

Sorry could not give you water measurements, I eyeball everything.
