Chicken Anyone?

Well...it is that time of year. The time where resolutions are in full force and everyone is on a diet/spending all of their spare time at the gym. In honor of that, I thought I would share one of my favorite healthy recipes. It only takes 10 minutes to prep (another reason it is a favorite) and it is just delicious!

Roast Chicken Breasts with Garbanzo Beans, Tomatoes, and Paprika

 
Ingredients:

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

4 garlic cloves, pressed

1 tablespoon smoked paprika*

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper

1/2 cup plain yogurt or Greek yogurt**

4 chicken breast halves with bones

1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans (drained)

1 12-ounce container cherry tomatoes

1 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided

How to:

Preheat oven to 450°. Mix first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Pour 1 teaspoon spiced oil mixture into small bowl; whisk in yogurt and set aside for sauce. Place chicken on large rimmed baking sheet. Rub 2 tablespoons spiced oil mixture over chicken. Add beans, tomatoes, and 1/2 cup cilantro to remaining spiced oil mixture; toss to coat. Pour bean mixture around chicken. Sprinkle everything generously with salt and pepper.

Roast until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cilantro. Transfer chicken to plates. Spoon bean mixture over. Serve with yogurt sauce.

*I have a hard time finding smoked paprika, but regular paprika tastes just as good!

**I use Fage - it's the BEST!
