Method

  1. Brown the ground chicken hard in the oil, 5 minutes, breaking it up but leaving some pieces the size of a thumbnail.
  2. Add the peppers for 5 minutes, then the garlic and spices for 1, then the chickpeas and olives and a splash of water, and simmer 8 minutes, until the chicken reads 165°F (74°C).
  3. Off the heat, add the lemon juice, taste and salt if needed, and serve with the pomegranate seeds and cilantro scattered over.
Chef’s tipLeave some lumps. Broken up too finely, ground meat turns to grit. Press it flat, let it crust, then break it in pieces.
Make it twoDoubles in a wide pan and reheats better than most — the chickpeas take up the sauce overnight.
