  1. In a large skillet on medium-high heat, cook chicken in oil for 4-5 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F and is no longer pink. Remove the chicken and set aside. Clean skillet if you are also serving vegetarian guests.
  2. Reheat pan and add an additional teaspoon of oil. Add onions, carrots and garlic to hot skillet. Sauté until vegetables are crisp and tender.
  3. Add garbanzo beans, tomato, molasses, and salt to the skillet. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in garam masala and chocolate until combined.
  4. Remove a portion to serve vegetarian guests.
  5. Add chicken to skillet, and let flavors combine until chicken is warmed (approximately 5 minutes).
  6. Serve with couscous or quinoa.

Notes

  • This dish is hearty with the chickpeas, but if you are used to adding an animal protein, the chicken is wonderful with the sauce and chickpeas together.
