Makes 8 servings (1 cup per serving)

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp coconut oil 
• 2 cups finely chopped onions
• 3 cloves chopped garlic
• ½ tsp salt 
• ½ tsp freshly ground pepper 
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced 
• 3 bell peppers, diced 
• 4 medium tomatoes, quartered 
• 1 cup water 
• 5 tbsp creamy natural peanut butter, divided 

Preparation

1. Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 4 – 5 minutes. Add garlic, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally until chicken is cooked through and lightly browned, about 6 – 8 minutes.  Add bell peppers, and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes.
3. Add tomatoes and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, mashing tomatoes slightly with the back of a spoon, until slightly thickened, about 5 – 10 minutes. 
4. Reduce heat to low and add 2 tbsp peanut butter. Simmer for 3 – 5 minutes.
5. In a separate pan, cook the spinach. If using fresh spinach, wash thoroughly and add about 2 tbsp water to a saucepan with the spinach and cook over medium-low heat until spinach is wilted and tender. If using frozen spinach, cook according to package directions. 
6. Add remaining 3 tbsp peanut butter to the spinach and cook for 3 – 5 minutes. Serve the stew topped with the cooked spinach.
