African Chicken Peanut Stew

Chicken sweet potatoes and peanuts are one of those magical flavor combinations that makes me feel all warm and happy. 20 years ago I met some Ghanaian students at the University of Wisconsin who were making this stew in their apartment.

Chicken and peanut butter stew is available in various forms throughout West Africa. This is my version inspired by my colleagues at the University of Washington.

The best way to make this stew is with two whole stewing hens: older chickens that are available at Asian and Latin markets. You start by simmering the birds to make stock that will then become the base of the stew and then you use the chicken meat.
