CHICKPEA MASALA RECIPE

I’m not gonna lie. Chicken Masala was my favorite item on the menu prior to my whole food plant based transition. I just loved the rich creamy sauce full of spices and the tender chicken.

Now that I’m living sensa chicken, I find that chickpeas satisfy that protein requirement and even the taste in many instances.

You are going to love this creamy, tomato based recipe full of vegetables and packed with protein!

Below is a recipe for 4 servings. Feel free to double it if you need to feed more mouths or if you want to freeze it for a future meal.

You’re not going to believe how easy this is! It will soon be your go to meal if you’re in a crunch for time or if you are craving a delicious vegan, vegetarian or whole food plantbased meal!
