    This Curry Chicken and Chickpeas is wonderfully scrumptious and so simple to prepare.  Serve this restaurant quality dish over rice and it will be raved over for days.

    I love chickpeas, especially roasted and in salads. And let’s not forget hummus. But they are also a fabulous addition to soups and stews.   They are a fantastic source of protein and fiber.  To save a ton of money, I like to cook dry chickpeas and freeze them.

    I made this Curry Chicken and Chickpeas to have for lunch for a few days and it only made it to two meals because both my husband and I chose to eat it for lunch and dinner on the same day.

    You can also serve it over Coconut Rice for an even heartier meal.

    We served it over rice and, oh my, THAT good!  If you don’t think you are a fan of curry, this recipe may well change your mind.
