4 cloves

14½ ounce

1 cup

2 medium

1

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Spray a nonstick Dutch oven with olive oil nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once or twice, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

2

Add onion, carrots, and garlic cloves to the Dutch oven; cook, stirring, until the onion is golden, about 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and broth; bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Stir in the bell peppers, poblano pepper, eggplant, crushed red pepper and capers. Add the chicken; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes more.

3

With a slotted spoon, remove and discard the garlic cloves. Transfer 1 cup of the vegetables to a food processor; puree. Return the puree to the Dutch oven, stirring to blend. Just before serving, stir in the mint.
