Add turmeric, 3/4 tsp each ginger and cinnamon, 1/2 tsp cumin and black pepper and cook 1 minute, stirring. Add tomatoes and 1 tsp salt. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

4. Add potatoes and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes, until potato is tender.

5. Add chicken, cilantro and parsley and heat through, 2-3 minutes. Add additional broth to thin out as desired; season with additional salt as needed. Stir in spinach. Top servings with chickpeas and serve with lemon wedges.
