3.
Add the chickpeas, chicken, tomatoes, and 100 ml of water. Stir well, cook until simmering, and then cover and cook over a low heat for 20 minutes. Season to taste with a little salt and pepper. Mash the chickpeas roughly with a fork. The stew can be blended in a food processor for children younger than 12 months.
