I love this recipe. I sautéed some kale after the chickpeas were done in the leftover oil and spices. Perfect one pan meal, and super fast and easy weeknight dinner.

We just finished this delicious supper! My husband loved the spices, and even raves about the chickpeas! My chicken and chickpeas both took longer to cook, chicken about twelve minutes, chickpeas about fifteen. I did add a tablespoon of fine chopped fresh mint to the yogurt and I was glad I did. I saved it on arugula and chopped cucumber. This goes into my six star file!

This was delicious. Was inspired by Amanda’s video the other day and I’m so glad I made it! I make a yogurt sauce with Greek yogurt, feta and garlic that I usually use with za’atar/Aleppo spiced beef. I had some left in the fridge so that’s what we used with this and it was so good. Will definitely make this again. I also have to add that I wasn’t sure I’d like the chickpeas but they really surprised me - in a good way!

Delicious! Everyone seems to rave about the beans, but for me the star of this dish is the chicken. I will be making the chicken again and again with rice, a green vegetable and/or a vinegary salad for a fantastic quick meal.

We added chopped cucumbers to the yogurt sauce, a la Tzatziki, and it brought another version of crunch to the dish. ‘Easy addition and tasty, too!

Excellent recipe. Fast and easy and you can easily double the recipe for larger family or gatherings. Only modification I'll be making is to invest in a splatter screen to use when cooking the chickpeas. They do indeed pop and a screen will save a lot of clean up of the stove and floor. :)

Good point and one I should have thought to mention. We have a splatter screen and there is a note on our copy of this recipe to bring it out for the chickpeas.

Hey EmilyC--I was looking for something new to do with the boneless chicken thighs sitting in my fridge and this is a keeper! Reminded us a lot of Chicken Shawarma but a lot quicker to make with fantastic flavor. I didn't change a thing except to add a little garlic powder to the yogurt sauce and served it with Naan. BTW, the leftover chickpeas (used a big can) crisped up beautifully the next day in the air fryer.

So glad you liked this, Mike, and great tip about crisping the leftover chickpeas in the air fryer! I bought my mom one last year... I have been tempted to get one for myself! : )

I’m back!
I’m making this wonderful recipe again tonight. I’m using chicken breasts so I thought I’d try a yogurt based marinade on the chicken pieces so they wouldn’t become dry.
Should I wipe the marinade off the chicken completely when I’m ready to cook? Has anyone tried marinaded chicken breasts with this recipe?

Curious why your chicken is dry. Are you cooking it too long? I’ve made this recipe twice, following the directions and the chicken ( breast meat sliced in half and then cut in quarters) was moist. I would definitely wipe off the marinade or you will get a gooey residue in the pan, not a good way to cook the chickpeas. Good luck.

This is one of the best new recipes I’ve tried in a long time. Really delicious. My husband loved it, too. I used an extra can of chickpeas and more yogurt. I tried it with boneless skinless chicken breasts, but thighs are much better.

This was so delish! I think you could experiment with different spice combos. We were low on smoked paprika so I used some sweet paprika and some garlic powder (AKA crack) and it was still pretty great.

Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed this, JuliaK. And yes on trying different spice combos -- you can and should riff with whatever is in your spice cabinet, just as you did! : )

Made this last night and it was delicious! I used red chili flakes at the amount recommended and I think I could have used more (we like spice)! The only change I made was I received bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (by accident) so I removed the skin, chopped it up and fried it seprately and tossed it in and the end with everything and it gave it great flavor and extra crunch. Great recipe! This will definitely go in the rotation.
Thank you!
Thank you!

So good! I made this for lunch yesterday and will be making it again for dinner tonight; it has been requested by my family and they don't have to ask me twice! Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe. Cheers!

Loved this recipe!!!! Everyone in the family enjoyed it! I used 2 cans of chickpeas (because I can never have enough chickpeas!) and it turned out great! Just added a little more oil, salt and smoked paprika to the cooking chickpeas. There were no leftovers....no even a rouge chickpea.

Great call on doubling the chickpeas -- love that every last one was gobbled up! Thanks MaryFrancis for the note.

This recipe is FANTASTIC! I loved that I already had all ingredients in my pantry and it was so easy to make. I like to make recipes exactly as directed the first time and then switch something if necessary. I think next time I might use a bit less oil and butter when I make the chicken since I'm trying to make leaner meals during the week.

The chickpeas were so delicious. It was hard to not snack on them right out of the pan. They held up reasonably well as leftovers the next day, as well. The oil and turmeric 'dye' made quite a mess in the kitchen, and so I would definitely look in to a splatter screen. But overall the dish was very tasty and greatly enjoyed.

So glad you liked this, and yes to a splatter screen! I bought one several months ago and use it for this dish and many others.
