ingredients for the best peanut butter pumpkin stew with boneless chicken tights recipe.

Chicken tights.
You can use boneless or bone ones. If you want you can leave the skin on, just make sure to make them extra crispy. If you don’t like chicken tights at all, replace them with chicken breast pieces.
Onion.
The onion is going to give so much flavor.
Garlic.
The perfect partner for the onion. As we are using fresh ingredients for flavor, it is important to add ingredients that are rich in flavor, garlic is one of these.
Bell pepper.
Red bell pepper will add a sweet and fresh taste. But more importantly, it will nourish your body with Vitamin C which is what we need on cold days, to support our immune system.
Potatoes.
The starch ingredient is the source of healthy carbs. Another good thing about adding potatoes, they will thicken the stew up.
Pumpkin.
Another super healthy ingredient will add a sweet taste to the whole dish. Pumpkins and potatoes balance each other out.
Leek.
is high in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin K, and Magnesium. It may reduce inflammation and protect against cancer. It may also promote healthy digestion, which you can read more about
Tomato paste.
Peanut butter.
Sugar-free peanut butter is going to add such a strong peanut taste, but this makes the dish heavenly good. Peanut butter is also a good source of healthy fats.

The perfect fresh herb for this dish.
Parsley.
Together with cilantro, it will add so much flavor and it is a super healthy ingredient.
