CREAMY Garlic Chickpeas with Rice | Packed with GOODNESS & Easy to Make
These Creamy Garlic Chickpeas with Rice are what simple and delicious food is all about. We’re talking a ton of great flavors, simple everyday ingredients and all done in about 30 minutes. Serve them next to a crunchy baguette and a bottle of Spanish white wine from La Rioja for an incredible meal.
To make this recipe, I used canned chickpeas. But you can use any other type of canned bean you like. You can also use dried beans. Just soak them overnight in plenty of water and then simmer the following day for 1 to 2 hours or until tender.
For the rice, I used long-grain rice. But you can use any rice you like. Just make sure to check the rice package instructions, as the liquid to rice ratios and cooking times will vary from the recipe card below.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: You can serve this dish warm or even at room temperature. It will hold for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container. When reheating, you can add in some more milk or broth to bring back the creaminess in the chickpeas.

I love these so much! They have become an absolute comfort food. I make them at least once a month!
So happy to hear that! Thanks for the comment 🙂 Much love
This is really good with nutritional yeast instead of flour. It thickens up the sauce but adds nutty and cheesy flavor. I also added a bit of miso at the end. Otherwise followed the recipe as written but used soy milk instead of dairy milk. Super good!!
Sounds great! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂 Much love
So, so tasty and healthy. Thank you for the recipe!
