How to Make African Peanut And Ginger Chicken
- In a bowl, toss 1 lb pre-cooked chicken pieces with 2 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tsp salt. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Heat 2 tbsp vegetable or peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until heated through (about 5 minutes). Remove and set aside.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 bell pepper, chopped, to the skillet. Saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tsp chili powder (or less, to taste), and 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or less, to taste). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, and 2 cups chicken stock or broth. Stir until well combined.
- Bring to a simmer, then add the cooked chicken. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat. Serve hot over rice or your favorite side dish.
