Directions West African-Style Peanut Stew with Chicken
Directions
-
Season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken, cook until no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining chicken.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pot and reduce heat to medium. Add onion, cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, cook, stirring, 30 seconds.
Stir in broth, tomatoes, sweet potato, collard greens, and red bell peppers, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer, partially covered, until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
Return chicken and accumulated juices to the pot. Return to a boil, then stir in peanut butter, simmer until incorporated and chicken is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped peanuts.
