Ingredients

4 chicken breasts or thighs, bone-in and skin-on
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1-2 green chilies, chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon ground smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth or water
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Cooked rice or fufu for serving

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, minced ginger, ground smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper.

Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and coat them well with the spice mixture. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.

Cook the Chicken

In a large pot or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

Add the marinated chicken pieces and brown them on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Cook the Vegetables

In the same pot, add the finely chopped onion and saut√© until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, and green chilies (if using). Cook until the tomatoes soften and the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Combine and Simmer

Return the browned chicken to the pot.

Pour in the chicken broth or water and bring the mixture to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Serve

Remove the chicken from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes.
