East African Chicken

East African Chicken

  • 1 small chicken
  • 2 teaspoons mixed herbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Water
  • 1 cup of Basmati rice (or white rice)

  • 1 Onion finally chopped
  • 1 red capsicum chopped
  • 1 green capsicum chopped

Method
  • Put mixed herbs, salt, chicken in a pot cover with water and boil gently till chicken is well cooked.
  • Keep chicken stock to one side.
  • De bone chicken and cut up chicken, set aside.
  • Put rice and 1/2 the chicken stock in a pot and cook.  Add more hot water if needed.
  • In another pot add butter, onion and capsicum. Stir on low heat till onions are soft and tender.
  • Add in the peanut butter and thoroughly mix in.
  • Add in the chicken stock (and some cream for a more creamy flavour)

I do not like peanut butter but I love this recipe.
