Thanks! Here are the ingredients... do you think I can just leave out
the chili paste and I won't be missing anything? I'm cooking for kids
too.

PS: I don't like chickpeas, will white beans be an acceptable
substitute, should I try something else or forget about beans?

2 tablespoons olive oil
6 chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 shallots, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons green curry paste
2 tablespoons chili paste
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 14-ounce can coconut milk
2 cups water
1 14-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 bunch Swiss chard, cleaned, trimmed and thinly sliced
