Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
-
In the same pot, add onion, bell peppers, and celery. Cook until vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
-
Stir in diced tomatoes, chicken broth, paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
-
Return the chicken thighs to the pot and add okra. Cover and let the stew simmer for about 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
-
In a small bowl, whisk peanut butter with a ladle of the hot broth until smooth. Stir the peanut butter mixture into the stew, allowing it to thicken the sauce.
-
Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the African Gumbo hot over cooked rice, garnished with fresh parsley.
