Stewed Chicken
4 pieces of chicken
1 small onion
1/2 bell pepper
2 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp Badia Complete Seasoning
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp sugar

Instructions:

Rinse chicken with vinegar and let it drain. Then, in a bowl, add the onion, green pepper, garlic, black pepper, complete seasoning, and salt. Mix all ingredients with chicken and set aside for 10-15 minutes. In a pot, add olive oil and let it warm, then add sugar and let it caramelize. Add the seasoned chicken, stirring frequently until it is evenly browned, then let it simmer on medium heat for 20 minutes, adding a little water if needed.

In a medium-sized pot, add vegetable oil, garlic, onion, and green pepper. Rinse the rice, then add it to the pot and fry for 2 minutes, then add beans, water, and coconut milk. Stir, and then add salt, pepper, and sugar. Once it starts to boil, turn the heat down to low for 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked.

Mix the coleslaw ingredients together, serve it all up on a plate, and enjoy those fabulous island flavors!

Sunset Villas 11C in West End: Villa Isla Bonita

This unit boasts an incredible view from the 3-story building over the main pool looking out to the horizon.

Adrian has lived all over but spent the majority of his life in the small town of Kalispell, Montana, which was partly what he liked about Roatan. “Roatan felt comfortable, it was relatively small like Kalispell where everyone knows everyone,” Adrian explains. “And, of course, I like to escape Montana in the winter.”

“I really enjoy that – for the most part – I don’t need to drive anywhere,” Adrian says of his home. “West End is a pretty complete little community. The veggie truck and seafood guy come by the house and there is a well stocked little store by the entrance to the community. I enjoy the less crowded beaches of West End and the fewer vendors than West Bay. I like the variety of places to eat, the live music, the diving and snorkeling…just strolling the street after the sun sets is a treat.”
