I found this recipe in a Weight Watchers cookbook, and changed it slightly to accomodate my family's taste. It was surprisingly good. I wish I could have thought of a more creative name for the recipe to tempt others to try it. The original recipe was 6 pts. per serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe tomatoes, tender chicken, and plump chickpeas.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken and vegetables won't cook evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Season generously: Don't be afraid to season the chicken and vegetables with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the chickpeas and sun-dried tomatoes at the end: This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming mushy.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:
