Helpful Tips

Chicken - Leaner chicken pieces can be used including chicken breast or for bone-in pieces, drumsticks work well also. Keep in mind, that drumsticks will need a longer cooking time.


Beans - Swap the chickpeas for any white beans including black-eyed beans or cannellini beans.


Vegetables - Swap broccolini for broccoli florets or even cauliflower florets. Though the flavour will change, it will still be delicious.
