If you like spicy, fruit-forward Caribbean food then this recipe is for you. Full of heat, sweet peaches and savory chicken, this saucy stew needs only a bed of steamed rice to ensure no sauces are left uneaten. If you’re unsure about heat levels, go easy on the serrano chilies the first time you make this recipe. For no heat, substitute a some green bell pepper for the serrano. All the ingredients can be assembled and ready to cook in just 10 minutes, meaning this can cook while you are work for a weeknight feast when you get home.
