👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides, working in batches if necessary. Remove the chicken and set aside.
2
Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Stir in the sweet potato chunks and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, peanut butter, ground coriander, and cayenne pepper. Stir well until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
5
Return the browned chicken to the pot. Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender, and the sweet potatoes are soft.
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 to reach your desired consistency.
7
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. This stew is delicious served with rice, couscous, or tô.
