- 4-5 chicken drumsticks and/or chicken breasts bones in
- salt, pepper, garlic, cayenne pepper to taste
- adobo powder ( if available)
- half a green pepper, chopped (optional)
- oil
Directions
1. | put enough oil in the sauce pan to cover the bottom of it, once the oil is hot, add the chicken |
2. | add some garlic and salt and adobo |
3. | let the chicken brown, turning it from time to time to allow all the sides to brown |
4. | once all the chicken pieces are a golden brown, add about 2 cups of water and turn the heat up |
5. | once the water is boiling add the tomato paste and the peanut butter |
6. | turn to allow the tomato and peanut butter to be uniformly distributed |
7. | add the chopped green pepper, if using one |
8. | turn the heat on medium and let the soup cook. This is the step where your chicken will cook, so make sure to allow enough time (20-25min). |
9. | it is ready when there is some oil on the surface. You can poke through the chicken a little bit to make sure it is cooked through. If not, leave the soup on the stovetop on low heat for a little while longer. |
