Description

This quick and easy turmeric chicken stew recipe combines chicken, sweet potato, and eggplant with a colorful sauce of turmeric, ginger, and garlic.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
1/2 medium red onion, chopped
1 small eggplant, cubed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth, or more as needed

Directions

1 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Add sweet potatoes and onion; cook and stir until onion is translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggplant, garlic, ginger, and turmeric; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2 Pour in broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally and adding more broth if necessary, until vegetables are tender and stew has thickened, about 20 minutes.
