Season chicken pieces with salt and black pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown chicken in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove chicken and set aside.

Add cubed sweet potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the aromatics. Cook for a few minutes.

Stir in crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, peanut butter, ground coriander, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
💡 Profitipps: Ensure the peanut butter is well dissolved to avoid lumps. - 5
Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot. Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 90 minutes, or until chicken is tender and sweet potatoes are cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
💡 Profitipps: Stirring is crucial, especially as the peanut butter can stick to the bottom of the pot. - 6
Once cooked, remove chicken pieces to a separate bowl. Shred the meat off the bones, discarding skin and bones. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
💡 Profitipps: This step is optional; you can also leave the chicken in larger pieces. - 7
Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in chopped cilantro. Serve hot, garnished with chopped roasted peanuts.
💡 Profitipps: A squeeze of lime juice can add a bright finish.
💡 Profitipps

- ✓Adjust cayenne pepper to your preferred level of heat.
- ✓This stew thickens as it cools, so you may want to add a little extra broth or water when reheating.
