Chicken Peanut African Dish (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main

01 - 1.5 lb chicken thighs
02 - 2 cups chicken stock
03 - ½ cup peanut butter

→ Aromatics

04 - ½ onion, diced
05 - 1 red bell pepper, diced

→ Sauce & Oil

06 - ½ cup tomato sauce
07 - ¼ cup olive oil

→ Seasonings

08 - 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
09 - 1 teaspoon bouillon powder
10 - 1 teaspoon black pepper
11 - 1 teaspoon salt (add to your liking)

# Instructions:

01 - Clean chicken and dry with paper towels. Combine salt and black pepper in a tiny bowl and rub all over the chicken thighs.
02 - Heat olive oil in a big skillet on medium-high flame. Cook chicken until golden on each side. Take out and put aside.
03 - Pour ¼ cup olive oil into a big soup pot on medium heat. Throw in diced onions and red bell pepper, cooking them until they're soft.
04 - Stir in tomato sauce with all spices but leave out salt. Let it bubble a bit, then add the chicken broth.
05 - Put chicken back in the pot, give it a stir and let it cook about 10 minutes. Try it and add salt if needed.
06 - Mix peanut butter into the pot until it's smooth. Keep cooking until your stew gets nice and thick.

# Notes:

01 - Stock often has salt already, so taste before adding extra.
02 - Try mixing in coriander, cilantro, garlic, ginger, or cumin for different flavors.
03 - Want it hotter? Toss in some chili or habanero.
04 - If you're using water instead of stock, you'll probably need more seasoning.
05 - Beef or fish work great in this stew too, not just chicken.
