Nigerian red stew with chicken is a rich, spicy dish featuring tender chicken pieces simmered in a vibrant tomato-based sauce. Made with blended tomatoes, red bell peppers, onions, and scotch bonnet peppers, the stew gets its bold flavor from palm oil or vegetable oil, garlic, ginger, and seasonings like curry, thyme, and bouillon cubes. Often cooked with stockfish or smoked fish for extra depth, this hearty stew is a Nigerian classic, typically served with rice, yam, plantain, or swallow foods like eba or pounded yam.
