In a large, nonreactive bowl, toss the diced chicken with the salt and pepper. Add the diced onion, garlic, ginger, thyme, and the Scotch Bonnet peppers, then mix well to combine fully. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour. 2. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large pot or sauté pan. Add the chicken and marinade, then cook well for ~ 8 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and starts to brown on the outside. 3.

Mix in the cilantro, then taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper, or more Scotch bonnets if you’d like a spicier dish. 4. This is best served over rice, but you could just as easily toss it with pasta. The sauce is thick and hearty – perfect to slather over the carb of your choice.
