- In this video, I will show you how I make basic Ghanaian chicken stew.
I love these kinds of stews because they are very versatile, it can be eaten with rice, but also with potatoes, yam, and even spaghetti or plantain. You can make a allot at once and it's quite simple to make!

INGREDIENTS
Chicken +/-600g
Ginger (approximately 80g)
1 Scotch bonnet Pepper
2-4 Cloves Garlic
2-3 Onions
1 -2 Magi cubes
Salt to taste
4 Cups Vegetable Oil (Approximately)
1/4 cup Tomato paste (70 gr.)
1 Tablespoon Powdered Pepper
2 Cans of Tinned (plum) tomatoes
1 Tablespoon Cumin Powder
1 Tablespoon Curry powder
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Wash and clean the chicken. Blend the Scotch bonnet together with one onion, garlic ginger, and a little water to help with the blending.
2. Add the blended spices to the meat, add magi cubes and or salt to the meat. Cover the pan with its lid and let the chicken cook for about 15 - 20 minutes.
* Instead of using fresh veggies you can use powdered spices to steam the chicken.
3. In another pan heat vegetable oil over medium fire and fry the chicken. Remove the chicken from the pan when you're done.
4. When you are done frying the chicken you can use the same pan to fry the onions for about 2-3 minutes.
5. Now add the powdered pepper and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes.
6. Now add the tomato paste and mix it with the fried onions
7. While the onions and tomato paste are cooking, blend the tomatoes and then add it to the stew. Let the stew cook for about 7-10 minutes.
8. Add the spices and salt.
9. Let the stew cook for about 5 - 7 minutes then add the fried chicken
10. Let it cook some more until the water in the tomatoes evaporates and the stew gets a brownish color.

~Baffour 🙏🏿
You are most welcome 🙏🏿
Gonna try a variation of this tonight. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome 😄
@@InAmmasKitchen OMG this turned out so good and the aroma! Used creole seasoning with the curry as a variation. I do think I need to add a little sugar next time to cut the taste of the tomato a bit.
Great recipe
Thank you 😊
I love that the first step is to clean the chicken haha
I'm making this right now can't wait to see how it turns out this is my first time making it
Let me know how you like it 😄
In Amma's Kitchen it's pretty good thanks xo

You're welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful to you
I always use this video as reference when I cook my stews
That's good to hear,! I'm glad this video is helpful to you 😊
Cant wait to try this tommorow. Thanks🥰
Hope you enjoy 😊
@@InAmmasKitchen I sure did and so did the rest of the family. It was great. Thanks again. 🥰🥰
Wonderful recipe
Thanks!
This stew just makes so much sense 😍
So much YUM!
I look delicious, am gonna try this recipe but with less oil.
Same A lot less oil 🧍🏾♀️
Your voice was very good, i have not tasted Ghanaian chicken stew yet.
Where is Amma ooo we need our girl back. I just love all her simple recipes!
Sister you kill me yessss yummy 😍😍😍
I had just sent this video to my wife I am Nigerian and my baby sitter when I was younger made this all the time. It was my pizza and candy haha 😂
Best recipe
Thanks!
I love this dish! I did make few changes though lol. I added extra curry powder and cumin plus I added some jumbo seasoning and dry crayfish seasoning from the African store. Also, I fried the chicken in vegetable oil then I made the dish with olive oil to make it little healthier. Lol my Bengali self added some fresh cilantro at the end too and it turns out amazing every time:)
Also, if you like extra spicy food like myself I recommend blending habanero peppers with the tomatoes and I blend one red bell pepper with it too to give extra flavors.
Sounds great! I love cilantro, might try it the next time I make stew
Looks delicious😍😍
Thank you!
@@InAmmasKitchen Ur welcome🤝
Nice ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Hi, at which part do you add the chicken juice, scotch bonnet, onion and garlic mix to the stew? Great video, nice quick and easy
This is what I’m wondering too.
Also at what point is the hunger used?
how come you done use the natural chicken broth from the first post to the second pot where the chicken is stewing with the tomatoes?
New subscriber, I like your videos ma’am
Thanks for subscribing!

You're welcome! Yes I have a Jollof video, here's the link th-cam.com/video/H5DQTKm9r94/w-d-xo.html
Just like how my moms makes it🤟
The highest compliment 😊
Hello in this video, Did you use hard chicken from the live poultry store or use chicken from the supermarket?
I used chicken from the supermarket
As always!
I need to learn how to cook y’all food my man is Ghanaian
Going to try this vegan style 😋
Hope you like it!
Good luck
Thank you so much.... I was able to cook today this is my first time and it went great. 🔥🔥💯
Thank you!!! Very helpful video, and rightfully said, very simple to make. By the way, I liked the background music😁, what’s the name of the song?
Thank you for watching! I’m glad the video was helpful 😊 The song is called day 8 by Ryan Little
In Amma's Kitchen You’re welcome!! Did you use the ginger for the chicken? And could you use the powdered pepper for the chicken as well if you don’t have ginger?
Yes I used the ginger for the chicken, if you don’t have it you can use powdered pepper or powdered ginger 😄
hey, do you have to use 2 pots? can't you do it in one? I'm gonna try this tonight but I'll be adding potato and peas :)
Sure, you can use just one pan! 😄
Thank you.. you made me enjoyed.😊
Good to hear! You're more than welcome 😄
I will make it tonight but I will put the peppers togheter whit the onions and fried it cause I will skip the chicken part I will just fried them appart 🤷🏻♀️
Hey the mix I used to steam the chicken, can I pour that in the stew or I have to get ride of it? , what do I do with it ?
I got rid of it, but it can be added to the stew.
what do you do with the initial mix of onion water scotch bonnet garlic and ginger? the one the chicken is initially steamed in? the chicken is removed from it to be fried. do you discard it?
Was wondering the same…looks like it
I love making stew. ☺️
What is your favorite stew?
This looks delicious...are you using cayenne pepper?
Thank you Nichole! I used scotch bonnet but you can definitely use cayenne instead
@@InAmmasKitchen oh thank you! I've never heard of scotch bonnet powder...I'll try to find it. I cant wait to try this recipe and thanks for responding 😊
Hi ya just asking if I should add the rest of the steaming sauce that is the ginger, garlic & grinder onions to the final stew.
I did not add it, but it can be added
Thank you
Hi I’m confused what do you do with all the mixture that the chicken was cooking in once you take the chicken out to fry it in the other pan? Do you just throw it away?
Yes I do but it can be used in the stew
Should there be so much oil to saute the onions?
No, you can use less
Beckala67 idk
I used a lot less oil. But my Ghanaian wife was very impressed. Thank you :)
Do you just discard the ginger mix after boiling the chicken?
I discharged it. However, you can use it in this recipe. I would add it after frying the onions. You could also freeze it in an ice cube tray so that it can be used in other dished.
Have you tried to use the powdered form of garlic and ginger to season the meat? Also is it ok to not get the chicken as a healthier option?
Yes, I sometimes use powdered spices to season the meat. Sure, you can leave out the chicken.
Adding the chicken stock... Does it help in any way??
I add it for its taste, it can be substituted with salt
Is it necessary to use this much oil? Have you tried the recipe without so much?
If you don't want to fry the chicken can you put it in the stew after steaming?
Sure you can, in that case I would steam it longer (until it's fully cooked)
So you don't add the garlic/onion/ginger blend to the stew? You throw it away after the chicken is steamed?
I didn't use it in this stew. However, you can use it in this recipe. I would add it after frying the onions. You could also freeze it in an ice cube tray so that it can be used in other dished.
What can i use to substitute the oil with
For some parts you could use water. Might do a video on how to make this with less or no oil
What did you do with the excess sauce you made to season the chicken ?
I discarded it, but it can be added to the stew
Hi could I replace plum tomatoes with chopped ??
Yes, as long as you blend it
Currently making this right now. At 8.30 am! Lol
It turned out amazing!! Wish I could show you. Great recipe!
🙌 Glad you liked it. Would have loved to see it :)
Subscribed.
Thanks!
I didn't see where u put the ginger. Did u blend it and add it to the chicken?
I did, all the steps and measurements are in the description box
What kind of powdered pepper did you use? Why was it red?
It is powdered African bird pepper, I got it from my local african shop
can you please indicate how long each stem should take?
Ingredients and detailed instructions are in the description box down below
Is powdered pepper the same as chili powder?
It's not exactly the same but you can use powdered pepper instead.
What's with the water and garlic from the chicken ??? It's wasn't use ?
does it matter the type of onion?
Trac nope!
When was the ginger used? I’m so confused
I didnt get you. Please whats the name of the ingredients u mentioned before the cury powder?
I used cumin powder
This is similar to the way we make here in India.
That's interesting 😊 What's the difference between how you make it in India and this one?
Looks easy. But when did you use the ginger.
I used the ginger to steam the meat at 0:30, forgot to mention it
@@InAmmasKitchen thank you
Is cayenne pepper good for powdered pepper? I’m not too sure what that is.
Any pepper in powdered form will work
Thank you! I tried it and it came out perfect on my first attempt. Can’t wait to try this with a variety of meats
