Yummy Chicken Chickpea Curry Bowls

Ok the first really healthy dinner I made was one suggested from my good friend Amy. We decided to send recipes to each other to help with the healthy dinners we both wanted. She is self-made health expert and I'm so glad she's always there to motivate me whenever I need her! Thank Amy.

Anyway we made this and it was delicious, we had some people over that night and they were a little nervous when the smell of curry hit them coming through the door, but they were rest assured once they took their first bite. And one of the guys had never had chick peas before, but they are really good and if you're nervous still, try hummus its to die for :)

Chicken Chickpea Curry Bowls

Cook 1 cup brown rice (you can use white too :)

1 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive oil
1 pound ground chicken
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 Tbs. Curry pwd
1 cup plain yogurt
1 14,5 oz can diced tomatoes
1 14.5 oz can chickpeas
handful of chopped cilantro
(I LOVE spicy so I added a little more curry and some red pepper flakes too :))

In a large skillet brown the chicken in the Olive Oil. Add the onions and cook until they are almost clear. Add curry pwd. Then add yogurt and simmer for about 3 min. Add a little water if it needs to loosen up a little. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add beans (rinsed and drained) and the tomatoes.

Divide rice and chicken mixture among bowls and garnish with cilantro :)
