detailed description

Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces and cook them until they're browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Next, add the chopped onions and carrots to the pot. Cook them with the chicken until they're softened and the onions are translucent. This should take about 5 minutes.
Now, add the chicken broth to the pot. Also add the peanut butter. Stir everything together until the peanut butter is fully dissolved in the broth.
Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let the stew simmer for about 30 minutes. During this time, the chicken will finish cooking and the flavors will meld together.
