Such a perfect dish for lunches. Love prepping this on a Sunday to enjoy all week. The flavours are really amazing. You can swap chickpeas for chicken or another protein, but I love incorporating more plant-based proteins into our diet! Also, this dish can easily be made gluten-free by using gluten-free noodles or swapping noodles for quinoa.
