Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
- 2
Add chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in the peanut butter until it begins to melt. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer.
- 4
Return the browned chicken to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the chopped bell pepper, sliced carrots, and chopped zucchini to the pot. Stir to combine. Cover and continue to simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through.
- 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more chicken broth or water. If too thin, simmer uncovered for a few minutes.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley. This dish is excellent served with rice or couscous.
