As seen on social, this Creamy Picante Chickpea Stew recipe developed by Mishka Murphy transforms simple pantry staples into a vibrant, flavor-filled dish that tastes like it simmered all day. Tender chickpeas are simmered with savory onion in bold Pace® Picante Sauce for layers of zesty, well-balanced heat. A swirl of sour cream brings rich, velvety creaminess that ties everything together and mellows the spice just enough. The result is a delicious stew with satisfying texture, bright flavor and a luxuriously creamy finish—perfect served with tortilla chips, warm bread or over rice.
Step 1
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 2
Add the chickpeas, picante sauce, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the chicken stock. Stir to combine, then let the mixture simmer until the sauce has reduced by about half and the chickpeas are becoming tender.
Step 3
Stir in the sour cream and baby spinach, cooking just until the spinach is wilted. Taste and adjust salt as needed, adding more sour cream if you prefer a lighter color and extra creaminess.
Step 4
Spoon into bowls and sprinkle with chili powder, if desired. Enjoy with tortilla chips, bread or rice.
