Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs or drumsticks
- 2 large onions finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch ginger grated
- 3 tablespoons berbere spice blend (can be found in Ethiopian stores or online)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 4 hard-boiled eggs (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they are soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the berbere spice blend and tomato paste, cooking for another minute to toast the spices.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pot and coat them well with the spice mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour in the chicken broth, cover the pot, and let the chicken simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- If using hard-boiled eggs, gently add them to the pot during the last 15 minutes of cooking to allow them to absorb the flavors.
