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
