That’s really delicious if you like chickpeas. However I would suggest 1/2 can of chickpeas and full 1 chicken breast for one portion, as in original recipe chickpeas become main dish and not the side dish.

Yes, totally agree. We've just had this and have quite a bit of chickpeas left. Loved the recipe though.

Thanks for the feedback both of you! That's really helpful to know - I'm going to tweak the recipe slightly and bring down the amount of chickpeas. Rosa xx
