Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 ½ pounds boneless chicken thighs with skin, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces and patted dry
1 (14 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
1 ½ cups water
1 cup coarsely chopped carrots
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
1 ½ cups cups cooked long-grain brown rice
1 (15 ounce) can pigeon peas, drained

Steps:

  • Place brown sugar in a large heavy pot. Cook over medium heat, tilting the pan to redistribute it occasionally, until it melts and starts to caramelize, about 3 minutes.

Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
