4 servings
about 1 hour total (Active 20 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 4 chicken leg quarters (about 3 ¾ lb)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 1 lime, for juice
  • 1 small Scotch bonnet (or habanero) pepper
  • 1 cup diced fresh yellow onions
  • ½ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth (or stock)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

Steps

    1. Chop parsley. Combine in large bowl: parsley, seasoned salt, thyme, pepper, and garlic; add chicken and toss to coat (wash hands). Let stand 15 minutes (or cover and chill overnight) to marinate.
    2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil and chicken in pan; cook 5–6 minutes on each side until chicken is browned. Slice bell pepper (1 cup); juice lime (1 tablespoon).
    3. Stir bell peppers, whole Scotch bonnet pepper, onions, broth, tomato paste, and lime juice into pan. Reduce heat to medium and cover; cook 25 minutes. Remove lid; simmer 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is 165°F. Remove Scotch bonnet pepper before serving.
