Ingredients:

Serving

2 -3 lbs chicken ( breasts or thighs)
2 limes
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
3 garlic cloves, -crushed
4 tbsp worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp oil
4 tbsp brown sugar
2 cups hot water
2 cups coconut milk
1 (19 oz) can pigeon peas
2 cups carrots
4 tbsp raisins
2 cups rice (not instant !)
1 hot pepper (optional)

Directions:

Rinse chicken and rub with lime.
In a large bowl: add salt, black pepper, garlic, half of the brown sugar, and half of the worcestershire sauce to chicken, then set aside (the longer you let it sit, the better the flavor!).
Heat oil in large deep pot. When hot, sprinkle in remaining brown sugar. Once sugar begins to bubble, add chicken and coat well until chicken is nicely browned.
Add carrots, rice, hot pepper, water and coconut milk. Mix well. Cover tightly and cook on very low heat 30-45 mins until rice is almost fully cooked. Do not stir while cooking.
Add pigeon peas and raisins. Continue cooking on low heat 10-15 mins until rice is fully cooked. Add additional worcestershire sauce to taste.
VARIATION: pork or beef can be used instead of chicken.
