This is a Jamaican dish, it can be made spicy if preferred but either way it is delicious! This dish is full of flavour and is really easy to make plus it's a one pot dish so saves the washing up. This recipe is a real winner :)

- Place the chicken in a bowl and coat all over with the all purpose seasoning and salt and pepper.
- In a casserole dish or a deep pan heat a little oil and add the seasoned chicken. Cook and stir for just for a few minutes to brown and lock in the flavour. Remove chicken, place in a bowl and set aside.
- Into the same pan, add the onions and peppers and cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add the chillies, if using, followed by the garlic, ginger, allspice and termeric. Give a good stir.
- Return the chicken back to the pan and add the rice (give a good rinse of the rice under the cold tap before adding), bay leaves and finally pour in the chicken stock.
- Cover and simmer for 40 minutes until the chicken is tender and no longer pink in the centre, top up with a little water or stock if necessary half way through cooking. Spoon into warmed bowls and serve.
