Instructions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become soft and translucent.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the onions and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 3

Stir in the berbere spice, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, cardamom, and coriander. Cook the spices for a few minutes to release their flavors.

Step 4

Add the chicken pieces to the pot and brown them on all sides in the spicy onion mixture.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and tomato paste, stirring well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 60-75 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. If the sauce thickens too much, you can add a bit more chicken broth.
