Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 lbs boneless chicken, cubed
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped carrot
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 sweet potatoes or 1 yam, cubed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2/3 cup peanut butter (crunchy or creamy, doesn't matter)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 bell pepper, any color, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy pot, heat the oil on med-high. When hot, add the onions and sweet potatoes, stir and cook until onions are soft and translucent.
  • Add chicken, cook til opaque.
  • Stir in the garlic, curry powder, coriander, cumin, and crushed red chiles. Cook 1 minute.
  • Add the carrots, celery, ginger, cinnamon, bay leaf, salt, chicken broth, and tomato paste.
  • Bring the liquid to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 45 minutes.
  • When the stew has cooked for 45 minutes, stir in the peanut butter. Cook another 3 minutes, uncovered for the flavors to blend.
  • Stir in the chopped tomato and bell pepper. Simmer until the tomatoes and pepper are softened but still retain their shape, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in lemon juice. Serve with the chopped cilantro on the top, and additional red pepper flakes on the side, if desired.
  • I like to serve this stew over hearty brown rice. Healthy and delicious!

I'm not usually a fan of stews, but this one was really good. The peanut sauce was especially delicious.

This stew is a great way to warm up on a cold day. The peanut sauce is rich and creamy, and the chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender.

This stew was a disaster! The chicken was dry and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

The stew was good, but it wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping for. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This stew was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

This chicken and peanut stew was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and complex, and the chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender. I served it over rice, and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter night.
