Brown stew chicken is a meat dish eaten throughout the English-speaking Caribbean islands. Some countries in the Caribbean use this name interchangeably with another popular dish referred to as stew chicken that has a different recipe.[citation needed] Brown stew chicken is usually paired with rice and peas and eaten as dinner, preferably on Sundays. The eponymous chicken color is achieved by frying chicken to a deep brown color, after which it is cooked in a slow simmer with spices, carrots, and ketchup.
