Brown Stew is a rich Jamaican dish made with bone-in chicken pieces marinated in thyme, scallions, garlic, Scotch bonnet peppers, and browning sauce, then pan-fried and slowly braised in a thick, savory gravy of tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and stock. Originating from Jamaica’s rural homesteads, this comforting, slow-cooked stew is commonly served with rice and peas, plantains, or ground provisions. The dish is known for its deep, caramelized flavor and fiery-sweet balance of spice.

Common variations include brown stew fish, often made with snapper, and beef or pork versions using the same technique.
