"Delicious West African chicken stew with sweet potatoes, collard greens, and peanut butter-tomato sauce."
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 3 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
  • 2 cups diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes with juices
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 0.5 bunch collard greens, tough ribs removed and leaves chopped
  • 2 medium red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 0.33333334326744 cup natural peanut butter
  • 6 tablespoons chopped peanuts
Instructions:
  • Season chicken generously with a mixture of 1/2 teaspoon of salt and black pepper.
  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Cook half of the chicken until no longer pink, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken, adding another tablespoon of oil to the pot. Combine all chicken on the plate, cover, and set aside.
  • Pour in the last tablespoon of oil into the pot. Lower the heat to medium and add the onion. Sauté until softened, around 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger, coriander, remaining half teaspoon salt, cumin, turmeric, and cinnamon. Cook until fragrant, for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the flavorful broth, undrained tomatoes, sweet potato, vibrant collard greens, and colorful bell peppers to the pot. Let it come to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, until the veggies are tender, for about 20 minutes.
  • Add the cooked chicken back to the pot with its juices. Bring it to a boil again. Stir in the peanut butter and let it simmer until well combined and the chicken is fully cooked, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes. Serve garnished with chopped peanuts.
