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.

Ingredients

  • 1 red bell pepper

  • 1 yellow bell pepper

  • 1 aubergine

  • 2 ripe tomatoes

  • 2 garlic cloves

  • 1 yellow onion (you can use white onion as well)

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Prep the vegetables

Rinse the aubergine, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Dice the aubergine. Core, de-seed, quarter, and dice the bell peppers. Chop the tomatoes. Put everything aside. Peel the garlic cloves and the onion. Halve the garlic cloves and dice the onion.

Cook the aubergine

Heat the olive oil and garlic cloves in the frying pan over medium heat. When the garlic releases its fragrance, add the aubergine and cook for 10 minutes, stirring from time to time. Then, transfer the aubergine to a bowl and set aside.

Make the sauce

Put the frying pan back on the stove. If there is no more oil left, add a tablespoon, then add the onion. Stir until it softens (~1 minute), then add the peppers and stir for a couple of minutes. Drizzle with maple syrup, then add the tomatoes, tomato paste, harissa or red mojo, paprika, and cumin. Mix well to form a paste, then add the vegetable broth. Stir, and cook for 10 minutes.

Finish cooking

When the sauce thickens a bit, add back the aubergine and the grilled chicken pieces. Stir, and continue to cook for another then minutes.

Take the stew off the heat, transfer to the serving plates, and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy hot or at room temperature.
