Nutritious foods can taste amazing and this is a perfect example. I used boneless skinless chicken breast, but really any chicken will work...you can use boneless skinless thighs or bone in chicken as well. So what exactly is Doro Wat??? Doro Wat is a rich, deeply spiced Ethiopian chicken stew celebrated for its bold flavors and velvety texture. Tender pieces of chicken are slowly simmered in a fragrant sauce made from caramelized onions, garlic, ginger, and berbere—a signature Ethiopian spice blend that combines chili peppers with warm spices such as cardamom and cloves. The stew develops a complex balance of heat, earthiness, and savory depth as it cooks. Traditionally, hard-boiled eggs are added near the end, absorbing the flavorful sauce. Doro Wat is traditionally served atop soft, tangy injera, an Ethiopian sourdough flatbread that is used to scoop up the stew, however, it is equally delicious served with rice or polenta making it a comforting and deeply satisfying dish central to Ethiopian cuisine and hospitality.
