Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
  2. 2 Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 of the chicken; cook and stir until no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes; transfer to a plate. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pot and cook remaining chicken; add to chicken on the plate. Cover and set aside.
  3. 3 Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium; add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, coriander, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, cumin, turmeric, and cinnamon; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. 4 Stir in broth, undrained tomatoes, sweet potato, collard greens, and bell peppers; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  5. 5 Return chicken and accumulated juices to the pot; return to a boil. Stir in peanut butter, then simmer until incorporated and chicken is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped peanuts.
