Time: 30 min
8 chicken drumsticks (about 2 lb), skin removed
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 medium sweet potatoes
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp chili powder
1 can (14 1/2 oz) diced tomatoes with garlic and onion
1 cup frozen green peas
1/3 cup each reduced-fat crunchy peanut butter and water
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Coat a nonstick 10- or 12-in. skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Place over medium-high heat, add chicken and cook 3 minutes until browned.
Meanwhile peel potatoes and cut in bite-size pieces.
Sprinkle drumsticks with garlic and chili powder (1 side only), turn drumsticks over and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add potatoes and tomatoes; place drumsticks on top. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Sprinkle with peas, cover and cook 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken to serving platter. Add remaining ingredients to skillet; stir until blended and hot. Pour over chicken.
