For the Chicken

1 lb Chicken thighs or mixed parts. washed
1 teaspoon Ginger garlic paste
2 teaspoon Chicken bouillon
1 teaspoon Salt

Fresh basil, thyme and parsley or any herbs. chopped

Instructions

Add the chicken into a large bowl with all the ingredients for the chicken except the onion.
Using your hands, mix until well coated. Transfer into a pot, add the onion with enough water. Boil until tender. I used a pressure pot which cooked for just 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, blend the tomatoes, onions and bell peppers until smooth. Set aside
Air fry the chicken at 400F for 20 minutes, flip sides halfway through. You can also deep fry the chicken till golden brown. Save the chicken stock.
In a large pot, heat the cooking oil for about 2 minutes. Pour in the blended mix, and chicken stock and let it cook for about 4-5 minutes. Make sure you check it so it doesn't burn.
Now add the peanut butter and stir until it dissolves. Cover and let it cook for 5 minutes.
Add the chicken, and garnish with the fresh herbs. Stir and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Serve with rice or fufu.
