I found by experience that substituting orange or yellow pepper for the red just does NOT work. However, you can use orzo pasta instead of the rice and it works great. I have also skipped the chicken and just done it as a vegetarian dish and it was really good.

How to Make African Peanut Butter Chicken
- Using a 12” nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook chicken in batches in vegetable oil about 5 minutes (turning once) until golden. Remove and set aside
- Reduce heat to medium; add salt, curry powder, onion, and red pepper; cook 1 minute while stirring
- Add salsa and tomato, cover and simmer 5 minutes
- Place chicken on top of vegetables, cover and simmer on medium-low heat for about 25 minutes (until chicken is cooked through). While this is cooking, prepare rice according to package directions.
- Plate rice, put chicken on top, cover to keep warm
- Whisk the peanut butter with water and stir into the vegetable mixture. Heat to boiling and then pour over chicken and rice.
