Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Cook Chicken

    Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the pot. Cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.

  3. 4

    Add Spices

    Stir in the cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.

  4. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Peanut Butter

    Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juices. Add the peanut butter and stir until well combined.

  5. 6

    Simmer the Stew

    Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  6. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Peanut Butter Stew!
