This sounds so yummy! Would it make much difference if I left out or substituted the chickpeas for something else? I love beans of all kinds just not chickpeas.Thanks for the post!

No, but I think something like a Navy bean would be too buttery. You could replace it with chicken (seasoned w/ s&p only). Enjoy!
