How to Make Palaver Chicken

  1. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  2. Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Remove chicken from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  4. Add olive oil to the same pan. Add chopped onion and diced tomatoes. Cook over high heat for 5 minutes, until softened.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in peanut butter and 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  6. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add the remaining chicken broth, thyme, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and spinach.
  7. Stir in the browned chicken. Cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened.
  8. Serve the Palaver Chicken hot over boiled yams and/or rice. Enjoy!
