👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Season the chicken with salt, sazon, adobo, black pepper, green seasoning, chopped spring onions (reserve some for garnish), and thyme sprigs. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or preferably overnight.
- 2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until it caramelizes into a deep amber color. Be careful not to burn it.
- 3
Add the marinated chicken to the caramelized sugar and stir to coat. Brown the chicken on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and minced pimento pepper, and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
- 4
Add the pigeon peas, diced carrots, and cubed pumpkin to the pot. Stir to combine with the chicken and vegetables.
- 5
Rinse the rice and add it to the pot. Stir well to incorporate it with the other ingredients.
- 6
In a separate bowl, combine the coconut milk, water, and seasoning cubes. Stir until the cubes are dissolved. Pour this liquid mixture into the pot. Add the whole scotch bonnet peppers.
- 7
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- 8
Uncover the pot, stir in the minced culantro, and gently mix. Cover again and let it rest for 5-10 minutes off the heat to allow the flavors to meld and the rice to become fluffy.
- 9
Remove the whole scotch bonnet peppers before serving. Garnish with reserved chopped spring onions. Serve hot.
