Instructions

  1. 1 Cut Scotch bonnet chile in half. Chop half; reserve both halves. (Chile pepper is very hot, so use gloves when chopping, and avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth after chopping.) Cut chicken into large chunks.
  2. 2 Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken; brown on all sides, about 15 minutes. Stir in chopped Scotch bonnet, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Add rice; stir to coat with oil. Cook until rice turns slightly opaque but doesn't brown. Add chicken broth; bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for about 5 minutes; stir in black-eyed peas, coconut milk, green onions, and thyme until well combined. Lay cabbage chunks on top of rice mixture; place remaining Scotch bonnet half on top of cabbage.
  4. 4 Cover the skillet; simmer until rice and cabbage are tender, about 20 minutes, checking occasionally to see if mixture is getting too dry on the bottom (add a small amount of water if needed to prevent burning). Stir in butter; season with salt and black pepper.
