Easy Chicken and Chickpea Chili

January 3, 2018 By Patricia 24 Comments

Easy Chicken and Chickpea Chili is the type of meal you want on a cold night. It’s a super-easy dish to make, and its got a nice, spicy kick to it. You’ll love it any night of the week!

Easy Chicken and Chickpea Chili is so easy to make! You'll love this chili and how easy it is to make!

Ooo, it’s cold out, isn’t it? I know much of the country is frozen over, but it’s lovely here in Phoenix! The evenings and mornings get chilly (many into the 30s), which I love, but I cannot deal with the bitter, bitter cold, even though I grew up in it in Ohio! 

Easy Chicken and Chickpea Chili is just what you'll want when it's cold out! This chili dish is a treat anytime, but it's perfect for the cold weather!

My biggest weather concern right now in Phoenix is what to wear: throw on a jacket and I could be way too hot. Leave it behind and I might catch a chill. Ha! 

The perfect thing for a cold day or night is this simple chili. I love its spicy kick (good for heating things up) and I love that you can have this dish on the table in less than 30 minutes.

Easy Chicken and Chickpea Chili is a lovely dish any night of the week. This chili is perfect when it's cold outdoors!

My husband is usually the chili guy in my house. His easy weekend chili is traditional and delicious, and my family always requests it whenever we’re all together. It’s just what you want for game day, or for a family get together.

My easy chicken and chickpea chili is a little different, but equally delicious. In fact, I’m starting to get requests for it from members of my family. There may be a little competition going on between my husband’s chili and mine!

Easy Chicken and Chickpea Chili is the kind of dish you'll want to dig into on a cold night! This chili is a great dish to make after a busy day -- it's so easy to put together!

I love chickpeas for all their versatility. If you like chickpeas (maybe you call them garbanzo beans), you should try my Potato, Chickpea, and Spinach Curry — it’s a readers’ favorite recipe! 

You can make a snack of chickpeas, too. They’re so healthy and satisfying! I crisped them up in the oven (like you would for snacking) and added them to my recipe for Pasta with Rapini and Crispy Chickpeas. 

Easy Chicken and Chickpea Chili is easy to make, and oh, is it tasty! You'll love this chili dish with its spicy kick!

Chili is a classic and I love that my version here is a little out of the ordinary. It really is quite tasty, and so easy to make.

Whether or not the weather has you cozied up indoors or you’re getting a bit of a reprieve this season, you should whip up my easy chicken and chickpea chili. 

Easy Chicken and Chickpea Chili will be a hit on a cold night! You'll love this chili for it's big flavor, heartiness, and because it's so easy to make!

    My husband thinks it's too warm right now for most soups and stews, but this is a great compromise! I love chickpeas, so this looks perfect to me!

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
