We made a chicken dish from the Sudan that is similar

Sudanese Chicken Mafe' (stew)

1/3 cup chunky peanut butter (natural if
possible)
1 cup chicken stock
6 chicken pieces, breast, leg,
thigh
1 teaspoon oil
1 medium onion -- chopped
1 large red bell pepper -- chopped
1 clove garlic -- chopped
1 can diced tomatoes with juice
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 large sweet potato -- cubed
1 large turnip -- cubed
1/2 pound fresh spinach

Put peanut butter and stock in bowl and wisk till combined thoroughly.


Pat chicken dry and season with Tony Chacheries or other Creole/Cajun
seasoning. In heavy braiser brown
chicken pieces in batches and set aside.

Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat and saute onion and bell pepper
till onion begins to brown. Add garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Stir
in peanut butter mixture, tomatoes with juice, and cayenne.

Bring to boil, add back chicken with accumulated juices and cover
pot with lid.

Lower heat and braise till chicken is tender. Remove chicken to bowl
and keep warm.

Add sweet potatoes and turnips to pot and simmer uncovered till
tender.

Transfer vegetables to bowl with chicken and boil sauce to reduce
down.

Add spinach till just wilted. Add back Chicken and vegetables and
rewarm. Check for heat, add more cayenne if you are adventuresome.

Serve with white rice.
