Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides until golden. Remove chicken and set aside.

Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped scotch bonnet pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the crushed tomatoes to the pot and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the oil begins to separate.

Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot. Pour in the palm nut cream and the water. Stir well to combine everything.

Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
