    This dish is amazingly easy to make, loaded with natural protein, and packed full of vibrant flavors. There’s the perfect combo of spices, and a touch of fish sauce deepens the savory, umami rich flavor. 

    The main ingredients are just ground chicken and ready-to-go canned chickpeas. The best part is that they can go straight into the pan without any preparation, making the process super efficient! 

    All it takes is to stir fry them all with seasonings in one pan, serve over rice or a side of your choice, and top with cilantro leaves.
