CARIBBEAN CHICKEN STEW

Caribbean Chicken Stew image

I lived with a West Indian family for awhile and enjoyed watching them cook. I lightened up this recipe by leaving out the oil and sugar, removing the skin from the chicken and using chicken sausage. It's just as good. -Joanne Iovino, Kings Park, New York
