How to Make African Groundnut Peanut Stew

1. Boil 1 lb bone-in chicken pieces in 4 cups of water for 30-40 minutes, until cooked through. Remove chicken, set aside, and reserve the chicken stock.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 large chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
4. Pour in 2 cups of reserved chicken stock and stir until the tomato paste is fully incorporated.
5. Add 1 cup of smooth peanut butter and stir until completely blended with the tomato stock mixture. If the stew is too thick, add more stock, 1/2 cup at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
6. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 sachet (approximately 1 teaspoon) of Knorr bouillon powder. Bring to a simmer.
7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the stew to thicken.
8. Add the cooked chicken pieces to the stew and simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
9. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or other spices to your preference.
10. Serve hot with your choice of rice, pounded yam, boiled yam, or fufu.
