ROAST CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CHICKPEAS AND TOMATOES



Roast Chicken Breasts With Chickpeas and Tomatoes image

This dish comes together fast. The precise cut of chicken you use in this recipe is not crucial. You can use skinless breasts (to cut fat) or boneless (to cut cooking time), or you can use chicken thighs (in which case you should figure on about 10 additional minutes of cooking time). Adapted from a recipe I originally found in Bon Appétit.

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, pressed
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dry crushed red pepper
1/2 cup plain yogurt or 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
4 bone-in chicken breast halves
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
1 (12 ounce) container cherry tomatoes
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro or 1 cup parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F
  • Mix the first five ingredients in a medium bowl. Pour 1 teaspoon of the spiced oil mixture into a small bowl, whisk in the yogurt and set this aside for the table sauce.
  • Place the chicken on a rimmed sheet or baking dish large enough to accommodate all the pieces without overlap. Rub 2 tablespoons of the spiced oil mixture over the chicken.
  • Add the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, and 1/2 cup of the cilantro to the remaining spiced oil mixture and toss to coat. Pour the mixture around the chicken pieces. Season everything with salt and pepper.
  • Roast until the chicken is cooked through, about 20-30 minutes. If you are using skin-on cuts, you can place the dish under the broiler for a minute or two (no more!) for a final browning. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cilantro.
  • When plating up, dress each chicken piece with a generous spoonful of the chickpea and tomatoes. Serve with the yogurt sauce. This dish goes well with rice or a loaf of good crusty bread.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 onion, sliced into half-moons
2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
1 small fennel, trimmed and sliced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, plus more to taste (garlic salt would also work here)
One 28-ounce can whole San Marzano tomatoes
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup torn basil leaves
Freshly grated Parmesan, if desired

Steps:

  • Toss the chicken breasts with the salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan and heat an additional 30 seconds. Add the onion, garlic and fennel to the hot pan. Season with salt and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are beginning to soften and are fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the oregano and garlic powder to the vegetables and stir to combine. Continue to cook until the vegetables are translucent and beginning to brown slightly, another 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes to the pan along with the vinegar. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Using the back of a wooden spoon, crush the tomatoes into medium-sized pieces. Simmer for 10 minutes while you start the chicken.
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil and heat an additional 30 seconds. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook, undisturbed, until deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook until the chicken is evenly browned on both sides, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully ladle the tomato mixture over and around the chicken, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in the chickpeas and butter and cook to heat through, 2 more minutes. Did you taste it? Season with additional salt, garlic powder or garlic salt if needed. Stir in the basil and serve topped with Parmesan, if desired.

CURRY CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CHICKPEAS AND SPINACH



Curry Chicken Breasts With Chickpeas and Spinach image

This entire dish is built for flavor - and ease. An ideal ingredient for quick weeknight meals, chicken breasts can be pounded thin, so they'll cook quickly and evenly. Here, the cutlets are dusted in flour to create a delicate, golden crust that seals in moisture, and flavored with Madras curry powder, an Indian spice blend featuring coriander, turmeric, chiles, cumin, fennel, garlic and ginger. Toasting it in oil brings out all its warmth and richness. The curried chickpeas make a wonderful side dish on their own, and would pair just as well with another meat or fish.
