OMG it was delicious with eggplant! Huge hit. The only thing was it took much longer to cook. However it is a great veggie side dish and makes an amazing non-pasta eggplant meal.

Do you think this would work w/eggplant instead of beef? I was thinking it could be an interesting vegetarian side.

It would be very different but still delicious! The only thing I would be wary of is the eggplant getting too mushy and not mixing nicely with the firm chickpeas. — Dara

I loved this dish as well and agree that it would be easy to eat too much of it.

We made the same adjustments, actually. I substituted cayenne and some crushed red pepper for the chipotle. I did keep the chicken stock though.

I made lemon roasted asparagus with it and that was a perfect pairing.

For me the dish worked out well. I ate one cup of it and that was my protein and starch servings for dinner.

Although cilantro is not my favorite taste; somehow it really wasn’t powerful. I wonder why? Great dish packed with protein.

This looks terrific! I’m glad it was easy and yummy! This seems like it would be a great meal to make and to freeze for leftovers. I’ll have to try it.

My mouth is watering just looking at it. I will have to try this when Amy is home.
BTW- my meals tonight were met with “This is gross, I want a new dinner.” At least they ate my chicken from last night after spitting out tonights meal. Although they are bugging me to make more of the lemon chicken again. I guess you can’t always win:)
