1
Cut chicken thighs into four pieces each. Salt and pepper to taste. Saute in 1 T. of oil at medium high heat until seared. Set aside.
2
Saute the onions and green pepper in the remaining tablespoon of oil until soft. Add garlic, ginger root and dates and saute for 30 seconds.
3
Mix peanut butter, soy sauce, can of tomatoes and sriracha into the hot broth and add to the sauteed onions, peppers, garlic and ginger. Add garam masala, or substitute 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground coriander and 1/2 tsp ground cumin if garam masala is not available.
