Add the spices and cook until aromatic, then pour in the chickpeas and stock. Simmer for 1 hour, until the chicken is tender and sauce begins to thicken.
Add the zucchini and cook until soft, then season with salt and pepper and serve with rice.

Tips and Tricks
Never defrost chicken on the counter top – this can be a serious food safety risk as the outside of your chicken will defrost at a different rate to the inside and may start harboring harmful bacteria. Always defrost chicken completely before cooking to make sure it’s cooked right through.
Cooked rice can be frozen and saved for another meal. We recommend consuming within 2 weeks of freezing for maximum taste and to avoid freezer burn.
No need to throw out your leaves either – celery leaves are great in salads, stews and soups and add a refreshing celery taste to juices and smoothies.
