Spanish Chickpeas & Rice

If you associate rice and chickpeas as bland, this Spanish Chickpeas and Rice dish will change your mind! A one dish meal that is hearty and full of flavor. A filling one pot dish full of spices, rice, chickpeas, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and topped with fresh lemon!


Spanish Chickpeas & Rice

I had saved this recipe from Budget Bytes for a while now. I finally made this dish, and it turned out so flavorful with just the perfect amount of spice! This dish does pack a little heat from the cayenne pepper, so feel free to lower the amount of or omit altogether.

This dish is filling and flavorful! The winning factor for me is the entire dish cooks on the stovetop in one pot! Perfect for a weeknight meal and less cleanup!
