🧂 Zutaten
- 1.5 kg Chicken thighs(bone-in, skin-on, cut into serving pieces)
- 0.25 cup Palm oil (dendê oil)
- 2 large Onions(chopped)
- 6 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger(freshly grated)
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes(peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks)
- 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Smooth peanut butter

- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper(freshly ground)

👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Pat the chicken pieces dry and season generously with salt and black pepper. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the palm oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the browned chicken and set aside.
- 2
Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and peanut butter until smooth. Pour this mixture into the pot with the onions and garlic. Add the ground coriander and cayenne pepper.
- 5
Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot. Add the sweet potato chunks. Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 6
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If the stew is too thick, add a little more chicken broth or water. If it's too thin, simmer uncovered for a few minutes to reduce.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro. This stew is traditionally served with rice.
