What is Chicken Stew with Eggplant and Peppers?
Chicken Stew with Eggplant and Peppers is a Turkish-style home-cooked dish of chicken simmered with tender eggplant and sweet peppers.

It is served hot as a main course, with rice, bulgur or bread to soak up the juices; a simple salad or yoghurt makes an easy accompaniment.
