It's a Keeper: Tandoori Chicken with Mashed Chick Peas and Pepper and Onion Salad
Posted by Madeline | Tuesday, March 11, 2008

I got a little lazy taking this picture, so sorry it's a little dark! But the meal itself was certainly bright and happy. I saw this recipes for
Tandoori Chicken with Mashed Chick Peas and Pepper and Onion Salad on an episode of 30 Minute Meals called The Lighter Side.
The recipe as very easy to cut in half if there are just two of you. Usually, when I cut a recipe in half I still make the whole recipe for the sauce since someone in my house tends to like his dinner with more sauce than the average bear.
I think this recipe is also a great example of how you can mix it up a little with your chicken dishes. It's so easy to have chicken and rice every night, so why not go a little nuts and have your chicken with chickpeas, pita bread, and an pepper and onion salad? My husband would have been happy without the mashed chickpeas, but I liked putting them in my pita with the chicken and salad.
Here's the recipe with my comments in brackets:
