Categories     Chicken Stew

Total Time 1 hours 0 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
2 cups diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes with juices
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
½ bunch collard greens, tough ribs removed and leaves chopped
2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
⅓ cup natural peanut butter
6 tablespoons chopped peanuts

Steps:

  • Season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken; cook until no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining chicken.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pot and reduce heat to medium. Add onion; cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, 30 seconds.
  • Stir in broth, tomatoes, sweet potato, collard greens, and red bell peppers; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, partially covered, until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Return chicken and accumulated juices to the pot. Return to a boil, then stir in peanut butter; simmer until incorporated and chicken is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped peanuts.
