This recipe is adapted from a Family Circle recipe circa 1999. I have tweaked it to my liking but the integrity of the dish remains throughout. It's super simple and full of flavor.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup oil
1 medium onion, halved then sliced thinly
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ginger, freshly shredded
2 teaspoons paprika
2 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
1/2 cup water
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
8 skinless chicken thighs (about 2.5 lbs)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in Dutch oven or large sauce pot over medium heat. Add onion; cook until translucent, 5-6 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, paprika, curry powder, salt, and red pepper flakes; cook for about a minute, stirring.
  • Season chicken to taste with salt and pepper. Add to onion mixture, cooking 2 minutes per side.
  • Stir in vinegar, mustard, and water.
  • Sprinkle chickpeas into pot over chicken. Simmer, covered, over medium-low heat for about 40 minutes, or at least until thighs are cooked through.
  • Serve chicken, chickpeas, and balsamic sauce over or alongside basmati rice.
  • *Note: more red pepper flakes can be added for more heat. Doubling the amount will give it a good kick.
