Chicken with chickpeas | Trying to eat healthy and cook healthy

Wow it's been awhile. I have lots of stories to share but just need to find focus.

I've been trying to eat healthy so I looked for recipes. And found this Chicken with chickpeas. At first it was difficult to look for peas as I didn't know we have it in our local store.

Then the spinach, well I did not know what it's called in Filipino/Bisaya so instead I bought pechay. But as I research I found out pechay is a kind of spinach. Huh I learned a lot too while doing this recipe.

Hope you'll try it out too.

INGREDIENTS:
500 grams skinless chicken thigh fillets
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 medium white onion, chopped
1 (420-gram) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup fresh calamansi juice
1 packed cup fresh spinach leaves
cayenne pepper

PROCESS:

•Drain the chickpeas

•Season chicken with salt and pepper.

•Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Saute garlic and onions until fragrant. Add chicken and cook for 4 minutes. Flip to cook the other side.

•Add chickpeas and calamansi juice. Cover pan and cook for 5 more minutes.

•Add spinach and cook until wilted. Adjust seasoning.
•Sprinkle with cayenne pepper.

And here's the final product. For me it was not perfect still needs improvement but for a first time it's okay.

Take care everyone always stay safe and follow safety protocols.

That's it for the day.
