Slow Cooker West African Peanut Chicken Stew

This hearty variation of the classic West African Mafe utilizes a slow cooker to tenderize the chicken and meld the flavors of sweet potato and spicy tomato broth. The finish of creamy peanut butter creates a rich, velvety texture perfect for serving over white rice.

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 cups chicken broth
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for heat)
1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter
4 cups fresh spinach
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the chicken chunks, diced sweet potato, chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger into a large slow cooker.

  2. 2

    Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  3. 3

    Cover and cook on High for 3-4 hours or Low for 6-8 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.

  4. 4

    About 20 minutes before serving, open the lid and stir in the creamy peanut butter until it is smooth and fully dissolved into the sauce.

  5. 5

    Add the fresh spinach to the pot, stir gently, cover again, and let it wilt for about 5-10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Taste the stew and adjust salt or spice levels if needed.

  7. 7

    Serve hot over steamed rice, garnished with chopped roasted peanuts for extra crunch.
