West African Chicken
A client of mine shared this recipe with me awhile back and now it is a staple in the many regular dishes I make, with my a couple of my own adjustments. This is really tasty and easy to make. It also has a small amount of peanut butter in it, which I love, as it caters to my peanut butter cravings, without going overboard. Enjoy!
