Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sear until golden, 3–4 minutes per side.
Step 2
Remove chicken to a plate. Add diced onion to the same skillet, stir for 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 3
Add peanut butter, canned tomatoes with juice, and broth. Stir until peanut butter dissolves into a smooth sauce.
Step 4
Return chicken to the skillet. Add sweet potato cubes, stir, and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through and potato is tender.
Step 5
Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve the stew over warm rice.
