Nigerian Chicken Stew is simply well fried tomato stew made with chicken meat pieces, its stock and other ingredients and spices.

Ingredients for Nigerian Chicken Stew
• 1.5kg Fresh Tomatoes or tinned tomato puree (the watery type)
• 100g Canned tomato paste (optional)
• 1 litre Vegetable Oil (don't worry you won't be leaving all this oil in your stew).
• 600g Chicken
• 2 OR 3 medium bulbs Onions
• 5 Habanero Pepper (atarodo)
• 2 stock cubes
• Thyme and curry (1 tablespoon each)
• Salt to taste

Cooking directions for Nigerian Chicken Stew
• Open the thick canned tomato paste, scoop content into a bowl and dilute with a little water and set aside. Blend the tomatoes, peppers and onions. Pour the blended tomatoes into a pot and let it boil until the consistency is thicker and the excess water is dried up.

Tip: If you are making use of only the thick tomato paste, simply dilute it a bit in little water and go to step 4.

• In another pot, add the cleaned cut chicken, add a little water, thyme, curry ,1 stock cube and salt to taste. Cook the chicken until done and fry/grill, then set aside and reserve the liquid (Chicken stock).

• Now, heat up the vegetable oil, add some onions and fry then add the dried tomatoes and tomato puree and fry for about 25 minutes or until the tomato loses it's sour taste.

• Stir constantly to prevent the stew from burning at the bottom. Add the chicken stock and cook for 10 minutes.

• Next, add the fried chicken, stock cube and salt to taste. Cover and leave to simmer for 5 minutes. (You'll notice at this stage that the oil has risen to the top of the stew).

And the Nigerian Chicken Stew is ready to be served. Enjoy.

Tip: When the stew cools down a bit, scoop out the excess oil, pour into a bottle and preserve in the fridge. This oil can be used for Nigerian soups, stews, rice, beans and yam recipes too.

The Nigerian Chicken Stew is served with boiled and fried yams, boiled rice, plantain recipes and beans recipes. Enjoy!
