West African Stew (not peanut) with Plantains and maybe Chicken?

I’ve been searching for this recipe I lost >15 years ago. It was in a cooking magazine I bought at a thrift store. All I remember is that it had plantains. Everyone loved it, including my mom, who was visiting. My mom doesn’t like anything she finds to be unusual, so I was thrilled. I accidentally threw the recipe away and have yet to find anything that’s even close. Anyone have something that might be what I’m searching for?
