2 cloves garlic
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup crushed tomatoes, with liquid
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, sliced
½ cup water
¼ cup olives, or to taste

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
