I am Antiguan, so I love Caribbean food, which is usually well seasoned and has a bit of heat. Rice and chicken was on the dinner menu a few times a week growing up. I imagine it is a staple meal in many homes around the world. This is my version of a Caribbean-style stew chicken. I usually eat it with a side of cooked greens like collards or some boiled okra.

A flavorful keto stew, low in carbs and rich in healthy fats.
