In a hot pan, add a splash of olive oil and brown the chicken cubes for a few minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate. In the same pan, add the garlic, onion and bell peppers. Season to taste and cook until everything is nicely browned.
4-Add the chickpeas and chicken:
Add the paprika, stir well, and then add the tomatoes. Let everything cook for a few more minutes, then add the cooked chickpeas and chicken. Stir to integrate the flavours.
5-Cover with broth and let it cook:
Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients until they are fully covered. Stir once more, cover the pot, and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.

Here are two tips to prepare stewed chickpeas
1-Soaking the chickpeas:
It is important to soak the chickpeas for at least 8 hours or overnight before cooking. This helps to soften them and reduces cooking time.
2-Slow cooking:
The secret to making delicious stewed chickpeas with chorizo is slow cooking over medium-low heat. This helps to achieve a tender texture and a perfect blend of flavours.
