I wonder if I could use lentils instead of the chick peas? I love ethnic dishes like this (African/Indian/Meditteranean) but I'm not into chick peas!

I really love the rustic ease of this recipe in that you use a whole, cut up chicken and don't have to reduce the chicken to miniscule pieces! I will definitely try this, even with the chick peas!! High 5 Max!

Try another bean or legume but keep in mind that a chickpea is quite hearty and holds up in cooking - the lentil breaks down... which might taste good but will give a totally different appearance. Ahh, the chemistry of it all!! :) Let me know if it works! - Colleen
