• Remove the chicken and save for later
• In the same pot, sautee your garlic cloves and spring onions for 2 minutes
• Add in your sliced bell peppers and cook down for ca. 3 minutes
• Dissolve 1 chicken stock cube in ca. 150ml of boiled water, and pour this into your pot
• Cook all together for ca. 2 minutes, then add in 200ml of cream (double cream for the most taste, single to be healthier)
• Add the following seasonings:
  • Small handful of fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp. of all-purpose

  • ½ tsp. of black pepper
  • ½ tsp. of jerk marinade

• Cook together on a low to medium temperature for 2-5 minutes
• Garnish with parsley
• Serve the rest of your jerk chicken on top
