Herby Beninese Stewed Chicken Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: chicken, black pepper, yogurt, carrot, water, potato, garlic.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the chicken and cook until stewed.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Beninese flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Beninese accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
