Muamba Chicken Recipe

• 3-3 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/4 cup palm oil
• 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
• 2–3 onions, sliced
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 whole hot pepper (such as Scotch Bonnet)
• 1 lb butternut squash cubes
• 18–20 okra, cut into 1-inch lengths
• 2 cups chicken broth (plus more if needed)
• Salt and pepper

1. Place chicken in a large bowl, add the lemon juice and next six ingredients, toss well to coat.
2. Heat palm and canola oils in a large skillet or dutch oven. Add the chicken and saute on both sides until browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. Add onions to the pan and saute until translucent. Add tomatoes, garlic, white pepper, smoked paprika and whole hot pepper, stirring until well combined.
4. Return chicken to the pan, add butternut squash, okra, and chicken broth (adding more if necessary, it should cover the chicken) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve over rice.

Episode 51 - Conversation with Rev. Derrick Weston, Director of Theological Education and Formation @ Creation Justice Ministries

All about Creation Justice Ministries and their upcoming Transformative Leadership Program. 

Creation Justice Ministries (formerly the National Council of Churches Eco-Justice Program) represents the creation care and environmental justice policies of major Christian denominations throughout the United States. We work in cooperation with 39 national faith bodies including Protestant denominations and Orthodox communions as well as regional faith groups, and congregants to protect and restore God's Creation.

CJM’s Transformative Leadership Program is for church teams who want to transform their faith communities into active climate action leaders by equipping and inspiring their congregations to adopt meaningful and effective practices for creation justice. The Transformative Leadership Program is a free opportunity for congregational teams to participate in a 3-day, in-person workshop that combines climate communication, practical theological approaches, and community organizing tools to equip leaders in shaping their church’s relationship to creation justice.
