Remove skin and fat from chicken. Wash chicken and soak in cold water

Cook onions in clarified butter over medium heat until the onions are
soft and golden brown. Add 1/4 cup water to prevent burning. Add
berbere and cook for 7 to 10 minutes. Add the to- matoes and cook an
additional 10 minutes. Add 1 cup water, simmer for 1 minute.

Drain chicken, discard the lemon chunks. Put chicken into the sauce.

done. Remove from heat; sprinkle with black pepper.

Before serving, peel the hard-cooked eggs and poke with a fork on 4
sides. Carefully place eggs into the sauce. Serve with rice injera
(crepelike bread).

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting

Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.

Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.

"Stupidity is the devil. Look in the eye of a chicken and you'll know. It's the most horrifying, cannibalistic, and nightmarish creature in this world." - Werner Herzog
