Stir in minced garlic and ginger; cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Add berbere spice and cook for another minute to release its aroma.

Incorporate chicken pieces, stirring to coat in the spice mixture.

Pour in water to cover the chicken; bring to a simmer.

Season with salt and black pepper; cover and cook for 30-40 minutes until chicken is tender.

Once cooked, add hard-boiled eggs and simmer for another 10 minutes.

Stir in lemon juice and adjust seasoning as needed.

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
