Ingredients
Serves 4–6
-
2 lbs (900g) chicken thighs or drumsticks (skin-on for flavor)
-
3 tbsp coconut oil or palm oil
-
1 large onion, finely chopped
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tbsp grated ginger
-
2 medium tomatoes, diced
-
½ cup natural peanut butter (no sugar added)
-
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
-
1 ½ cups chicken broth
-
1 tsp smoked paprika
-
1 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to heat preference)
-
1 tsp ground coriander
-
½ tsp turmeric
-
1 tsp sea salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
1 red bell pepper, sliced
-
1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
-
Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Step 1: Sear the Chicken
-
Preheat your Platinum Gourmet Large Skillet on medium-high heat.
-
Add 2 tbsp of coconut oil.
-
Sear the chicken pieces skin-side down until golden brown (about 4–5 minutes per side).
-
Remove and set aside — leave the flavorful oil in the pan.
Step 2: Build the Base
-
Add remaining oil, onions, and cook until translucent.
-
Stir in garlic and ginger; sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
-
Add tomatoes, paprika, cayenne, coriander, turmeric, salt, and black pepper.
-
Stir well, allowing the mixture to reduce into a thick paste.
Step 3: Enrich the Sauce
-
Stir in peanut butter and coconut milk until smooth.
-
Gradually pour in chicken broth and mix until creamy and uniform.
-
Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over each piece.
Step 4: Simmer to Perfection
-
Add bell pepper and sweet potato cubes.
-
Cover with the skillet lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30–35 minutes.
-
Stir occasionally — the Platinum Gourmet Cover will lock in steam and flavor, producing tender, fall-off-the-bone chicken and thick, luscious sauce.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
-
Once the sauce is thick and rich, check seasoning and adjust as needed.
-
Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley and a squeeze of lime.
-
Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice, fufu, or flatbread.
