Honestly, I had no idea what to call this recipe because it is basically just a bunch of pantry ingredients put together. The recipe is so good though that you wouldn't even think it was mostly canned ingredients! I have eaten this by itself, over pasta, and even on toast. Any way you eat it, it tastes so good and has so much flavor while also being healthy and easy to make.
If you decide to make this but you don't have chickpeas or green beans, feel free to swap them out for any other beans and vegetables that are in your pantry or freezer. You can even swap the canned tomatoes for fresh diced tomatoes, marinara sauce, or even salsa. Feel free to change this up as much as you want to fit your preferences and what you have in the house!
