Maria’s African Chicken

Would you like to help me prepare my speciality dish?

Maria invited me to her house for dinner.
She asked if I would like to help her prepare her speciality “African Chicken.”

The ingredients we need are ...

chicken portions
3 tomatoes
1 large onion
2 sticks of celery
salt and pepper
curry powder
garlic powder
1/2 jar of roasted
peanut butter oil

Then we got out the utensils
1 large saucepan
1 chopping board
1 wooden spoon
2 sharp knives

First, Maria cut the chicken portions
into smaller pieces.

Next, she finely chopped the onions, tomatoes and celery. Then she put them in bowls.

She heated some oil in the saucepan.

“Would you pass me the chicken please?”

She asked me to pass her the chicken which she lightly fried for 10 minutes.

While the chicken was cooking, Maria added salt and pepper.

She also gave it a good stir to
prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.

She added the chopped tomatoes, onion and celery.

She then fried them together for a further 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, she
added both the
curry and garlic
powder. She left
the chicken to
cook for 15 - 20
minutes.
Then she added
100 mls. of
water and peanut
butter.
She put the lid
on and let it
simmer for
another 5-10
minutes.

Yummy!

Maria served the chicken on a bed of rice. It looked and smelled delicious. We both enjoyed our ‘African Chicken’.
