Instructions

In a large bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and brown them for about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add onion, garlic, bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until onion is translucent.
Add the chicken back to the skillet along with Scotch bonnet pepper, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and allspice. Stir to combine.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 30-40 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove Scotch bonnet pepper if a milder dish is desired. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over rice.
