Ingredients:
1 can chick peas/garbanzos
3 lb chicken pieces
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cumin ground
1 salt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 juice of 1 lemon
Instructions:
Dry chicken pieces with paper towels. Combine turmeric and cumin
with 1 t salt and the cayenne pepper and rub into the chicken. Let
stand for 15 minutes. (I use less chicken when I make this dish,
sometimes I also substitute boneless breast or tenders) Heat oil in a
frying pan and brown chicken pieces on all sides. Remove to a plate
and add onion to pan. Fry gently until soft, add garlic and cook a
few seconds. Pour onion mixture into chick peas and add chicken
pieces and 1 Tablespoon of the lemon juice. Cover and simmer gently
until chicken and chick peas are tender and liquid is considerably
reduced. About 1/2 hour. Taste and add salt if necessary, and more
lemon juice to give a pleasant tang. Remove chicken pieces carefully,
place chick peas and liquid in a deep dish, put the chicken on top
and garnish with lemon wedges.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
