Ingredients

  • 1 pounds chicken legs thighs and/or wings
  • 3 tablespoons onion infused oil
  • 2 whole large Bok choy sliced
  • 3 inch piece of ginger peeled and minced
  • 1 tsp hing
  • 1 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3/4 cup crushed tomato
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup roasted peanuts pieces
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne or to taste
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup cilantro (Chopped)

Instructions

Brown Chicken

  • Put a large pot to the stove, add the onion infused oil, Turn the heat on to medium/high.
  • Brown the chicken skin in batches. You just want the skin to crisp up to add flavour. You aren't trying to cook the chicken. Set the chicken aside.

Cook the Veg

  • In the same pot turn the heat down to medium and add the bok Choy. Cook for about 3 minutes.
  • Add the diced ginger. cook for another 1-2 minutes
  • Add the sweet potatoes and stir well to combine. Try and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot.

Stew it!

  • Add chicken broth, crusted tomatoes, peanut butter, peanut pieces, and coriander. (and cayenne if you are using it.) Stir it up to to combine the ingredients.
  • Taste, and adjust salt & pepper.
  • Add chicken you browned back to the pot.
  • Adjust heat so you get to a simmer.
  • Let it cook, 90 mins. Chicken should be falling off the bone.
  • Pull out the chicken.
  • Against the side of the pot, squish some of the Sweet Potato. This will help thicken up the stew.
  • Shred chicken and return meat to the pot. (Discard bones, and I also usually discard the skin as well but it's up to you.)
  • Taste, and adjust salt & pepper.
  • Stir in Cilantro, and serve!
