Yummy!

Made this one for my sister's Christmas Eve party, adding a fourth element to the established traditions (1. cheese potato soup, 2. beef stew, 3. lil smokies). We like to Polynesian it up by serving it over rice with diced bananas, peanuts, raisins, and jicama (when available).

West African Peanut Stew

2 cups shredded chicken
1 large onion diced
1 T minced garlic
¼ C dark sesame oil
1 T curry powder
1 t salt
1 t pepper
1 t dried red pepper flakes (or to taste)
4+ cups chicken broth (whatever consistency looks best to you)
½ cup tomato paste
2 cups chopped stewed tomatoes, drained
½ cup chunky peanut butter

In a large pot, sauté the cooked chicken, onion, and garlic in sesame oil for about 10 min. until onion is tender. Add curry powder, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes, sauté for 1 min. Add broth, tomato paste, stewed tomatoes, and peanut butter stirring until well combined. Heat until hot, not boiling, and serve immediately.
