Chicken with peppers and aubergines

This summer chicken stew is a sweet and smoky dish that allows you to use up the vegetables in your fridge. This is a richer version of Italian chicken with peppers, adding creaminess and body to the stew. The stars of this plate are red and yellow bell peppers, aubergine, and tomatoes. We have prepared this stew with vegan chicken pieces, but you can use grilled chicken fillets instead.
