This recipe is way off. To much rice, to much salt, to much pepper, not enough liquid for the beans and rice.

the gravy didn't come together like it should so i had to throw it out and redo without the chicken/ it needed far more water than prescribed.

I agree with Anonymous 9-21-04 about recado and vinegar flavoring in the stew. My dad's from Belize, he brought back red ricado from Belize after visiting there. He also brought with him the black recado, too. I live in the Dixieland where Paula and Emeril dominates, and I'm so grateful that there are some Latin stores in the country and the city where I was living because they sell achiote paste and ground achiote. It's cheaper buying spices and herbs from Mexican stores, than from Wal-mart. Achiote paste, Red ricado, recado are Mayan/Aztec spice and they smell wonderful. Great with masa preparada to make salbutas, another Belizean dish. Without red recado and vinegar, it's not Belizean. Even my husband, who is a Dixie born, asked where the red stuff is when I cooked the chicken stew without it. Not even paprika cut it close. And ah, don't forget the fried plantains...they are positively sinful with recado soaked chicken stew with the Italian vegs (tomato, onion, green pepper topped on white rice for beginners (or Haitian bean and rice, a bit spicy than Belizean bean and rice, for West Indian Creoles or Rice and Bean with coconut milk for true Belizeans.

This is a really great starter recipe. My family prefers it served over white rice. I use boneless, skinless breast cut into small chunks and I use alot more onion, thyme and garlic. I also use more water to make a lot more gravy for the rice....it is terrific with a mild flavor. The recipe for the beans and rice does not have the proper cooking time for the beans.

not even close, where is the seasoning belizeans use, called recardo, an achiote based seasoning. The touch of vinegar was also missing. Then it is usually cooked in coconut oil.
Belizeans also usually used left over stewed beans to make rice and beans. I was trully dissappointed that the first time we are featured on the food channel it was not to our absolute best.
