1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth

3 tablespoons pesto
4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as well as I expected. The chickpeas were a bit too hard, and the pesto was too oily.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.
