== Description ==
== Ingredients ==
* 4 tablespoons butter
* 3-5 lbs. Chicken pieces, trimmed of fat and cut into serving size pieces
* 2 medium onions, chopped
* 4 cloves garlic, crushed
* a cup finely chopped fresh coriander leaves (cilantro)
* 1 can Chickpeas (19 oz or 540 ml)

# In a large skillet, sauté the Chicken pieces in the butter over medium heat until they turn golden brown. Be sure to turn them several times, making sure that they brown evenly.

Stir in the remaining ingredients, including the Chicken pieces and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes or until the Chicken pieces are well cooked. Serve hot over rice.
