Curried Chicken and Chickpea Stew

chubby_checkers

This is my go-to recipe when I want to make food in advance and freeze it. You cook it in the crock pot for 6-8 hours and it makes 8-9 1 cup servings. I modify it slightly from the recipe.

Curried Chicken and Chickpea Stew

1.5lbs chicken breast (I use 1 lb)
1.5lbs chicken thighs (I use 1lb) (chicken is boneless/skinless)
2 onions (I use 1 large)
4 cloves garlic (I use 5)
1 Tbs curry powder (I use 1.5-2 Tbs)
1/2 tsp salt ( I add a litte more to taste)
1 Tbs olive oil
1 28oz can diced tomatos (I use crushed tomatos)
2 15oz cans chickpeas/garbanzo beans drained
(I usually add mushrooms--1 cup)

Directions:
Chop chicken into bite size pieces. Chop onions and garlic. Add olive oil, chicken, and spices to crock pot. Toss to coat. Top with onions and garlic (and mushrooms if you want). Add tomatos. Cook on low 6-8 hours. In the last hour of cooking, add the chickpeas.

Are the nutritional values from your modified version or from the original? I would think maybe it would effect it some. It looks freakin awesome!
