Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the chicken with garlic, berbere, paprika, cumin, cilantro, turmeric, and salt, mixing well to coat the meat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  3. Continue to cook the onion until it becomes translucent and slightly golden.
  4. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer and let it cook for a few minutes without stirring, so that it browns.
  5. Stir and turn the pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula to ensure even cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. ≈ 4 min
  6. Pour the lemon juice over the chicken and mix well. ≈ 4 min
  7. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley. ≈ 2 min
  8. Serve hot with injera or another type of bread. ≈ 2 min
