Chicken with chickpeas | Trying to eat healthy and cook healthy

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITY3 years ago (edited)

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.

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