Chicken kedjenou
An Ivorian chicken stew with vegetables, cooked covered in its own juices without added liquid.
Kedjenou is cooked in a tightly covered pot so the chicken and vegetables slowly cook in the moisture they release. Gently shaking the pot from time to time helps keep the ingredients from sticking to the bottom.
