This is a wonderful, spicy chicken stew served over rice. I make it often for my husband and friends. It can easily be doubled to feed a crowd. It is an amazing African dish. I learned it from a good friend who was a missionary kid in Sierra Leone and Zaire. It can easily be modified for vegans by substituting vegetable broth and adding vegetables instead of chicken. Any fresh or frozen veggies that you have on hand can be added.

This was a waste of time. The recipe was poorly written and the dish turned out terrible.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some additional spices to give it more flavor.

This was a good recipe, but I found that the peanut sauce was a bit too thick. I had to add some water to thin it out. Other than that, it was a great dish.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I added too much cayenne pepper. Other than that, it was a great recipe and I would definitely make it again.
