How To Make the best saucy chicken

  • Step 1
    In a large fry pan or skillet,heat half of the oil over medium-high heat;saute onion and garlic;stirring occasionally until softened about 4 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, paprika, 2 tbsps water, 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper and ginger;cook, stirring for 1 minute. Stir in coconut milk and peanut butter;let cool slightly.
