Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts (or 2 chicken breasts)
- 40 ounces spinach chopped
- 1 can hummus (garbanzo) rinsed and drained
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 5 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3-4 cups water or broth (depending on how you like it)
- 1 tablespoon chicken bullion
- 1 teaspoon 7 spice
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Aleppo pepper optional
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ Lemon squeezed
Instructions
- Saute the minced onion and garlic with the oil until soft and fragrant.
- Add the cubed chicken breast and saute.
- Add the spices and mix well, and cook for 10-12 minutes or till the chicken is no longer pink and chewy.
- Add the drained chickpeas and the chopped spinach, and mix.
- Add the water or broth and mix.
- Cover and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
- Serve it with vermicelli rice and extra lemon.
Notes
- Heat the stew in a heavy-bottomed sauté pan; they absorb and transmit heat from the cook top more evenly, avoiding hot spots that might cause the pine nuts or garlic to burn.
- Don’t bother using fresh spinach. Using fresh over frozen adds a lot more prep work, and you will need a lot more spinach.
