Chicken Chana Masala. My chicken chana masala recipe is a twist on Indian chana masala. Chana masala is typically made with just chickpeas, but I added in chicken for a low carb chana masala recipe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you're craving something super flavorful and warming, this fragrant Indian dish is for you. Chana masala is a great Indian recipe to expand your repertoire from the classics like curry <\/a>and tikka<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My chicken chana masala recipe is naturally gluten free, and can easily be made dairy free for those with lactose and dairy sensitivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
