Sajta de pollo

Sajta de pollo is typically made with chicken thighs or breasts, although it can also be made with beef or pork. The chicken is first browned in a pan, and then onions, garlic, and potatoes are added. The peanut sauce is made by blending peanuts, hot peppers, and spices such as cumin and coriander. The sauce is then added to the pot along with some water or broth, and the dish is simmered until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are cooked through. The result is a rich and flavorful stew that is perfect for a cold winter day.
