Today I  am  sharing a crockpot version  of brown stew chicken. It consists of small  pieces of bone-in chicken which get marinated in a browning sauce with vegetables. And then browned in a pan before braising  for hours in the slow cooker. The sauce is lightly sweet and also lightly spicy. If you like it really spicy increase the habanero. But you can always choose to keep it mild enough for family. Then add habanero hot sauce at the table.

The flavors are very  Caribbean. And the stew perfectly pairs with rice and peas. You could also add a salad and  some  type of Jamaican bread such as coco bread or  festival.
