Chicken with apricots sounds an unusual combination, but it tastes delicious and provides the body with valuable nutrients. Apricots are high in beta-carotene (vitamin A), which is an immune-boosting antioxidant, and chickpeas are a great source of fiber! This is a great post-workout meal providing a great source of complex carbohydrate and lean protein!
