Sauteed Chickpeas with Chicken and Vegetables
We start with the chicken. Cut it into strips (without skin or bones) and marinate it with a clove of minced garlic and a couple of tablespoons of oil.
While we prepare the vegetables. The carrot is cleaned, “peeled” and cut into thin sticks, the broccoli is separated into small trees and the zucchini is cleaned and skinned, cut into cubes, and the onion is peeled and cut into julienne strips.
In a frying pan sauté the chicken until browned, we reserve it. Add the onion to the same pan, two minutes later the rest of the vegetables and sauté a couple more minutes.
Add the chicken and chickpeas and remove, mix and sauté at a time for another two or three minutes.
