INGREDIENTS

4 oz chicken breast

0.5 cup chickpeas

1 cup broccoli florets

0.5 cup red bell pepper

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly and pat them very dry with a clean kitchen towel; removing moisture is the secret to achieving a crispy texture.

• 3

  Cut the chicken breast into even 1-inch bite-sized pieces and chop the broccoli and red bell pepper into similar sizes.

• 4

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, dried chickpeas, broccoli, and bell pepper.

• 5

  Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper, tossing until everything is evenly coated.

• 6

  Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the ingredients aren't overcrowded so they roast rather than steam.

• 7

  Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing the ingredients halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the chickpeas are golden brown.

• 8

  Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors before serving.
