Protein, fibre and turmeric. Protein from the chicken, fibre and slower carbs from the chickpeas. The turmeric brings curcumin, which works as an anti-inflammatory at the mechanistic level — worth noting: curcumin on its own is poorly absorbed, and only pairing it with black pepper or fat meaningfully raises how much your body actually takes up.
