Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat the 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.

In the same pot, add the chopped onions and sautรฉ until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- 3
Add the chopped tomatoes (or puree) to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they break down into a sauce. If using optional spices, add them now and stir for 1 minute.

In a separate bowl, whisk the peanut butter with about 1 cup of the chicken stock or water until smooth. This prevents lumps.
- 5
Pour the peanut butter mixture into the pot with the onions and tomatoes. Add the remaining chicken stock or water and stir well to combine.

Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot. Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If the stew is too thick, add a little more stock or water. If it's too thin, simmer uncovered for a few minutes to reduce.
