Moroccan Chicken Thighs With Chickpeas

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I have recently been branching out from my go-to recipes as I have been house bound recovering from surgery. My favorite thigh recipes were chicken and dumplings or just baked with mashed potatoes and gravy. NO MORE! This was amazing. The only changes that I made were to add a tsp of salt, to add the chick peas (garbanzo beans) along with the chicken and used pomegranate flavored Craisins at the end. The spicing was fantastic. Even my BF said "I wouldn't mind if you made this again." and proceeded to literally make himself sick eating so much of it at dinner and then finished the leftovers just before bed. I am recommending it to my family and friends, both adventurous and not. Thank you!
