Ginger, chilli and lime chicken breasts with harissa and chorizo chickpeas

Super-long-blog-post-title is long!

I work later than my fiance, and as such we generally like making meals that are quick and easy and require the least number of ingredients possible. This fits that bill completely!


It's so yummy, and warming! Technically with a low-FODMAP diet, you're not supposed to have chorizo and most other sausages, but I bought it, had it in my fridge, and I refuse to let food go bad!

You will need:
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 lime
  • Chilli flakes - as many as you like
  • Half inch of grated ginger
  • 1 can of chickpeas
  • 1 can chopped tomatoes
  • 2 little chorizo sausages (50g) chopped
  • 1 teaspoon harissa paste
So I cut the breasts in half and flattened them a little, then rubbed them with a mix of chilli, lime zest and ginger, then grilled them until cooked. While cooking, I drizzled them with lime juice, too.
Meanwhile, chop up the chorizo and heat in a pan until the oils begin to run, then add in the chickpeas, tomato and harissa paste. It only needs to cook for about 5 minutes, as that all it'll take for the chorizo to be cooked through and the chickpeas, too. 

Then you simply plate it up! Very yummy, protein filled, low calorie meal. Ideal.
