In a small saucepan, combine the white rice and water; bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until fluffy.
While rice cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced chicken breast, cooking until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic, shallots, and chopped sundried tomatoes to the skillet, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the chickpeas, vegetable broth, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper.
Simmer the mixture for 5 to 7 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt and parmesan cheese until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Serve the creamy chickpea and chicken mixture over the cooked white rice and garnish with fresh parsley.
