INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Chickpeas (cooked)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice)
1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme, chopped
1 Garlic clove, minced
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, combine the juice and zest of half a lemon, chopped rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and coat it evenly with the lemon-herb mixture. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes if time allows.
Place the chicken breast on a lightly greased baking sheet or oven-proof dish.
In a separate bowl, toss the cooked chickpeas with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a little extra olive oil if desired to help them crisp up.
Arrange the chickpeas around the chicken on the baking sheet.
Roast everything in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F) and the chickpeas are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the balance of tender, zesty chicken and crunchy, savory chickpeas.
