AFRICAN CHICKEN STEW // The Best Chicken Tomato Stew // Cameroonian Chicken Stew

How to make the best African Chicken Stew! This chicken tomato stew is so flavorful due to the herbs and spices used. Growing up in Cameroon, this was a staple on our Christmas table. It is the stew to make for the holidays, weekends or special occasions.
African Chicken Stew is often eaten over white rice but you can eat it with pasta too. Also, serving with sweet fried plantains just takes this meal over the top! Hope you enjoy, friends!

I had a neighbour from Cameroon, and her chicken stew always smelled EPIC. That caramelized tomato smell... Now I know how she did it! Thanks!

[@PreciousKitchen]

You are so welcome, Danie! Hope you enjoy this recipe!

@@PreciousKitchen DO NOT WASH YOUR CHICKEN, this is an outdated practice, food standards are high enough now that cooking your chicken thoroughly is enough to kill all dangerous bacteria. Washing your chicken simply spreads salmonella all over your sink and kitchen, it is very dangerous to wash your chicken and it achieves absolutely nothing that cooking alone does not achieve.

[@emilyleblond5368]

I cooked this for my Nigerian boyfriend and he said A++. He ate all the left overs. Thank you, I will definitely be making it again!

[@rossarnold1151]

Now I understand what you mean by "Hard Chicken", its what a lot of the world calls a "fowl" ie, a chicken that was kept to lay eggs for many years, as opposed to a chicken raised in a very short time for meat only.

[@sushimitten]

Thanks for the explanation because I was wondering lol

[@PreciousKitchen]

Thank you for explaining, Ross!

[@lindahn877]

But the hard chicken in Kenya we call them kienyeji meaning a hen that is a tradition chicken with no substance that makes them to grow up fast. the traditional hen takes months for it to be eaten. Coz it grows slowly.

[@carpii]

in UK we call them 'stewing hens' since the meat is tough they are best stewed or braised

[@canileaveitblank1476]

Stewing chicken here in Southern USA, as well. ❤️🍀

[@Poindogindustries]

I’ve been going on a “food journey”, I have tried more traditional Mediterranean, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Mexican. I think I’m going to try my hand at West African food for the first time with this dish!!

[@Neverasheep]

I do the same thing. I love cooking traditional meals from across the world.

[@Zothiqueness]

I'm the same, I learned some Indian, Japanese, and Korean food. This looks so good I will have to look into some African dishes!

Sis, thank you for sharing this recipe with us! I thoroughly washed and cleaned my chicken legs and let them marinate over night. I can't wait until I finish cooking this stew! Also, keep washing and cleaning your chicken & meats. If you know how to clean your surfaces after handling...there is no need to worry about salmonella. We and those before us have cleaned hundreds of pounds of meat and have NEVER gotten food poisoning.
