Note
Tips: For extra flavour, marinate the chicken for 2-4 hours before cooking. The chickpea mixture can be made spicier by adding red pepper flakes. If the chicken pieces are particularly thick, butterfly them to guarantee even cooking. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavours to meld together.
