Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 14oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 15oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 12 romaine lettuce leaves
  • 4 lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, 1/2 tbsp olive oil, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, and cayenne. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
