    Wash, peel (optional) & cut the potato into 1 inch pieces.

    Peel & thinly slice the yellow onion.
  • Step 5
    Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt, pepper, half of the turmeric & half of the cumin.
  • Step 6
    Heat a drizzle of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet on medium-high heat. Add the onion, potatoes, eggplant & tomatoes. Add another drizzle of oil. Season with salt & pepper. Stir & cook for 4-5 min or until the veggies begin to slightly soften.
