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!

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, diced
  • 1kg chicken thigh fillets, diced
  • 2 zucchinis, sliced
  • 1 green capsicum, sliced
  • 1 red capsicum, sliced
  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 400gm can crushed tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 2 tsp vegetable or chicken stock (I make my own, but you can also use cubes from the supermarket)
  • 1 bunch coriander, chopped

Directions:

  1. Heat oil in a large based pan and fry onion for 2 minutes. Add chicken and cook, stirring for a further 5 minutes, or until golden.
  2. Add zucchini, capsicum, peas and curry powder and cook, stirring for 2 minutes.
  3. Add crushed tomatoes, peanut butter and stock, stir in with other ingredients. Bring to boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Mix in coriander when serving.

Serves 5 – 6.
