I bought a 8 can pack of Goya chickpeas at BJ since it was a good deal. Thawed the boneless thighs and this recipe came up in my Google search.

  1. Chicken chana

    Ingredients

    50 ml Oil
    600 g Chicken
    200 g Chickpeas (Canned)
    1 Large Onion
    200 g Tomatoes (Canned)
    1 tsp Garlic Paste
    1 tsp Ginger Paste
    1 tsp Salt
    1 tsp Coriander Powder
    1 tsp Cumin Powder
    1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
    1 tsp Chilli Powder
    1 handful Coriander
    1 tbsp Dried Fenugreek

    Directions

    Heat Oil in a large pan over medium heat.

    Add the Onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4-5 minutes.

    Stir in the Garlic Paste and Ginger Paste, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

    Add the Tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the oil begins to separate from the mixture.

    Sprinkle in the Spices (Salt, Coriander Powder, Cumin Powder, Turmeric Powder, and Chilli Powder). Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes to toast the spices and release their flavor.

    Add 2 tablespoons of water (or liquid from the canned tomatoes) to prevent sticking and cook the mixture further for 3-4 minutes.

    Add the Chicken pieces to the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the color changes and the chicken is lightly seared.

    Stir in the Chickpeas, ensuring they are evenly coated in the mixture, and cook for 3-4 minutes.

    Pour in enough Water to cover the chicken and chickpeas. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

    Finish by adding the chopped Coriander and Dried Fenugreek, stirring well. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.
