Creating Caribbean Jerk Chicken Stew is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken chunks with jerk seasoning. Mix well to coat all pieces. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until they are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped bell pepper and sliced carrot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until they start to soften.
5. Brown the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the pot. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
7. Season: Add thyme, allspice, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
8. Simmer: Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
9. Add Black Beans: In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the black beans to the stew. Stir to incorporate.
10. Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
