Braised Chicken – African Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

Braised Chicken with Chiles

3 green chiles, skinned, seeds removed, chopped

3-lb chicken, cut up

2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp peanut oil

1 onion, slice

1 cup chicken broth

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Salt and pepper to taste

Melt the butter and oil and brown the chicken, a few pieces at a

time. As the chicken browns, remove and keep warm. Add the onion

rings and saute until soft.

Add the broth, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and chile and bring to a boil.

Put the chicken back in the pan, cover with the stock, reduce the

heat, and simmer until the chicken is done — about 45 minutes.

Variation: Make a stew by adding coarsely chopped onions, tomatoes,

and corn while the chicken is simmering.

Note: Fresh tropical fruits such as pineapple, papaya, or mango

along with baked yams will complete this easily prepared chicken

dish.
