- Heat olive oil in a dutch oven or a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the marinated chicken for 2-3 minutes per side then remove. Cook in batches to not over crowd the pot.
- Lower to medium heat and add reserved marinade to the pot and cook for 5 minutes. Scrap the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add chicken broth, ketchup, bay leaf, and scotch bonnet to the pot and sir to combine.
- Place the browned chicken pieces into the pot and bring the stew to a boil. Lower heat to medium-low and cover cooking for 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove the lid and continue to cook for 10 minutes to reduce the rich brown stew gravy.
- Serve with white rice or rice and peas!
