Succulent chicken, sweet potatoes, and collard greens in a rich and savory tomato-peanut stew.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound chicken, cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 5 cups chicken stock
  • 3 small sweet potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 1 (16 ounce) can chopped tomatoes, with liquid
  • 1 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 0.25 pound collard greens, roughly chopped
Instructions:
  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat peanut oil. Sauté onion, ginger, and garlic until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Brown the chicken. Season with crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Pour in chicken stock. Add sweet potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes, creamy peanut butter, and collard greens into the pot. Leave the pot partially covered and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender, approximately 20 minutes.
