Ingredients

  • 6 cups water
  • 5 bouillon cubes
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 pinch of oregano
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 14-ounce jar natural peanut butter
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
  • 4 habanero peppers
  • 3 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon oil

Directions

  1. Sautee the onion and garlic in the oil until tender.
  2. Add everything except the chicken and peanut butter. Bring it just to a boil to get the bouillon cubes dissolved.
  3. Bring it to a simmer and add the peanut butter.
  4. Let it simmer about an hour. Add the chicken breast. Simmer until the chicken
  5. breast is done.
  6. If you don’t want the sauce spicy, leave the peppers whole. If you’d like it spicy, break them up a little but take care not to release too much of the oils.
  7. If you’re in a rush just add the peanut butter and chicken all at once
  8. and simmer until you like the consistency and the chicken is finished.
