Algerian Chicken Stew Recipes

NIGERIAN CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• Slice the tomatoes, peppers, and onions into two halves and place them in a sheet pan alongside the garlic cloves. Brush generously with oil and place in a 425F preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes or till slightly charred. Blend everything with the ginger root and set aside.
• Season the chicken with paprika, thyme, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat, add 2 tbsp from the diced onions, and cook till the oil becomes fragrant.
• Add the chicken legs and fry until they become well browned on both sides-about 10 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Add the remaining diced onions inside the same pan where the chicken was fried. Cook till the onions become translucent. Add the blended sauce and bay leaves and cook for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth, paprika, curry powder, rosemary, bouillon powder, black pepper, and salt to taste.
• Gently put the fried chicken in the sauce and leave to simmer until the chicken becomes tender about 20 minutes - a little more or less depending on how big your chicken is.
• Stir occasionally to prevent burning and adjust the thickness of stew with water or stock if necessary.
• Serve over white rice, pasta, couscous, or eat with freshly baked bread.
