Instructions
Remove any white fat from chicken thighs and wash with tepid water. Put chicken into a large pot. Chop scallions and add to pot. Cut green and yellow peppers and add to the pot. Add bay leaves and a dash of nutmeg. Add about 1 ½ - 2 cups of water, cover and bring to a boil. Add bouillon cube.
Dice tomato, when finished, remove chicken from heat.
To make the sauce, cut the red onion and sauté in peanut oil in a large saucepan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly brown. Add diced tomatoes, sauté for 2-3 minutes, then add tomato puree, cook for 1-2 minutes. Pour sauce over the chicken, stir and bring chicken to boil on medium heat.
Rinse the saucepan with 2-3 cups of water and add to the chicken.
Boil about a cup of hot water, add peanut butter and mix. When chicken boils, add peanut butter. Cover the chicken and cook on medium heat for 5-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve with boiled plantains, rice or other grains.
