Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken pieces (legs, thighs, or a whole chicken cut into pieces)
- 3 tablespoons berbere spice blend
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Salt, to taste
- 4–6 pieces of injera, torn into small pieces
- 1 cup dorowot, coarsely chopped
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
-
1In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent.
-
2Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
-
3Add the berbere spice blend to the pot and mix well to coat the onions, garlic, and ginger with the spices.
-
4Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are browned on all sides.

5Pour in the chicken broth and season with salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
-
6Remove the cooked chicken pieces from the pot and set them aside to cool slightly. Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
-
7Return the shredded chicken to the pot with the remaining sauce. Stir well to coat the chicken with the flavorful sauce. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
-
8In a large bowl, place the torn pieces of injera.
-
9Add the coarsely chopped dorowot to the bowl.
-
10Moisten the fitfit with about ¼ cup chicken broth, or more as needed, to achieve the desired texture. Mix well to combine the ingredients.

11Let sit for a few minutes to allow the injera to soak up the flavors of the stew.
-
12Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro.
