water, enough to cover chicken |
2 teaspoons salt |

1 cup smooth peanut butter |
salt, to taste |
black pepper, to taste |

Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, cover chicken with water. Add 2 teaspoons salt and bay leaves. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 30 to 45 minutes or until tender.
2. In a blender, puree tomatoes, tomato paste and onions. Remove cooked chicken from pan; keep warm. Strain cooking liquid, discarding bay leaves.
3. Pour 2-1/2 cups strained cooking liquid back into pan. Add pureed mixture; simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in peanut butter, 1 Tablespoon at a time. Cover and simmer 10 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper.
