Mediterranean Chickpea Skillet

Bowl of cooked spinach, chick peas and cherry tomatoes

Chickpeas are not only high in fiber and protein (they pack a decent 15 grams of protein per cup), but they’ve also been shown to help stabilize blood sugar levels. 

Nutrition: About 18g protein, 350 calories, and lots of iron and antioxidants among other nutrients.

Ingredients 

1 can chickpeas, drained

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 cups spinach

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp oregano

1 tbsp olive oil

How to make: Heat the olive oil in a skillet, and add the minced garlic cloves and drained (and rinsed, if you choose) chickpeas. Cook for five minutes. Next, add the cherry tomatoes and oregano. Cook for three more minutes, and then add the spinach and lemon juice. Stir until the spinach wilts, and serve.
