Chicken Stew with Eggplant and Peppers is a Turkish-style home-cooked dish of chicken simmered with tender eggplant and sweet peppers. Some household versions add tomato and onion to build a savoury, gently sweet cooking sauce. 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.
The chicken makes this a protein-rich stew, while the vegetables add fibre and keep the dish varied in texture. Each 100 g provides 10.2 g of protein. For a lighter version, use a measured amount of oil and add extra peppers or eggplant; serve it with a modest portion of rice or bread if you prefer the stew to take centre stage.
