Can someone give me a recipe for an African style stew with Chicken, peanut butter and curry.?

Question

Other vegetables such as tomatoes and onions may be included as well as some additional condiments, but I would like it only mildly spicy. I have done some looking on my own but have not come up with the perfect recipe yet. It is for a wedding shower.

Mille Grazie (1,000 Thank you's ) to everyone who posted a recipe here. If possible I would give each of you best answer.

Depp's Lover, I tried your Beef stew recipe and with some very minor modifications of my own, it was a raving success with my husband. Kudos and Bravo!!

Answer 1

Here's one I love, you can sub the chiles and cayenne with Madras curry powder to taste.
Mafe
2 chickens cut up
3/4 cup oil
3 large onions chopped
2 to 3 lbs. chopped tomatoes
4 8-ounce cans tomatoe paste thinned with hot water
4 to 5 cups hot water
1 Tbs salt
8 ounces natural peanut butter
6 carrots cut in 1 inch chunks
1 lb okra, trimmed
1 large cabbage coursely chopped
3 or 4 sweet potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
a mix of chopped fresh chile, dried red chile and 1/4 tsp cayenne, to taste ( replace with madras curry powder if you like)

Brown the chicken in the oil. Remove and add half the onions and cook untill browned. Add all of the tomatoes, chicken and hot water and bring to a boil. Add peanut butter and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes, then add vegies.
When everything is tender add your spice mix and the reserved onions. Feel free to change the vegies if you like but be sure to keep in the onion, sweet potatoe and some kind of leafy veg. A friend of mine uses mustard greens and plantains in his.
Very good served over hot rice.

Answer 2

This has peanuts and not peanut butter but I hope it's close to what you need. Just replace the beef with chicken and adjust the seasonings as necessary
