Peanut Butter Chicken Stew...

Last night I was searching for inspiration on how to prepare some chicken thighs and decided to fix this chicken stew my mother use to make when I was little. I bet that most of these fantastic ingredients are probably in your pantry. The sauce of this stew is warm, delicious and far above what you would imagine from the ingredients. I served it with mashed potatoes and a mixed green salad. Enjoy!


Peanut Butter Chicken Stew

Ingredients:
4 chicken thighs
1 cup roasted red peppers
1 can (14 oz) of plum tomatoes with juice
1 large sweet onion, sliced
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
1 cup chicken broth
4 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter – I favor crunchy
1 tablespoon dried chili flakes

Pre-heat oven to 400 degree F
Wash and pat dry the chicken thighs and place them in a Dutch oven. In a large bowl, mix together all the above ingredients and pour over the chicken.

Cover the pan and bake in the oven for 35 minutes removing the lid for the last 10 minutes to allow the skin to crisp and sauce to thicken.

To serve, spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with your favorite side dishes.

Serves 4

    I'm so glad I found where you live :-). Your chicken sounds fantastic and I haven't met a peanut sauce I didn't enjoy. Yours sounds especially delicious.

    I agree with Cathy that childhood recipes are special. I can still taste some of my grandma's Italian dishes that were so good. Your chicken looks delicious. Never heard of peanut butter in chicken stew before. I'd love to give this a try!

    Hey. I must have missed this one. Love the peanut butter. Never used it like this though...in a stew...other than in a 'gravy' with different spicy thai sauces etc. Yummy! This is really cool, George!
