Preparation of Ingredients

Start by marinating the chicken pieces in a mixture of olive oil and spices such as curry powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, rinse the chickpeas and pat them dry.

Roasting the Chickpeas

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Toss the chickpeas in a small amount of olive oil and spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Cooking the Chicken

While the chickpeas are roasting, heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are fully cooked and golden brown on all sides.

Combining and Serving

Once both the chickpeas and chicken are cooked, toss them together in a bowl. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, and serve hot. This dish can be garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an added touch of flavor.
