Easy and yummy. I followed the recipe exactly as written. Served it with crusty bread and a glass of white wine (couldn't let a good bottle of white wine go to waste!! Even though I'm more of a red fan). I will make this one again.
Chicken, Chickpea, and Zucchini Stew
This stew is nice for lunch before or after a hike. To speed preparation, chop the onion and zucchini the night before.
Yield: 10 servings (serving size: 1 cup stew and about 1 tablespoon cheese)
