For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of curry powder, garlic, ginger, and scallions for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of habanero pepper to your desired level of spiciness. Scotch bonnet peppers are a traditional alternative for authentic Jamaican heat. Fresh thyme is highly recommended for its vibrant aroma, but dried thyme can be used in a pinch. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried thyme in place of the fresh. Consider adding diced potatoes or carrots to the stew for a heartier meal. Add them along with the water and simmer until tender.
