INGREDIENTS

5 oz Chicken breast

0.5 cup Canned chickpeas

1 tbsp Pumpkin seeds

1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

0.5 tsp Smoked paprika

0.5 tsp Ground cumin

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel to ensure maximum crispiness.

• 3

  Cut the chicken breast into small, uniform half-inch cubes to match the size of the chickpeas.

• 4

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed chicken, dried chickpeas, and extra virgin olive oil, tossing until everything is well coated.

• 5

  Add the smoked paprika, ground cumin, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the bowl and toss again to distribute the spices evenly.

• 6

  Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the pieces are not crowded.

• 7

  Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, then remove the tray and toss the ingredients with a spatula.

• 8

  Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds over the tray and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the chickpeas are golden.

• 9

  Allow the mix to cool for 2-3 minutes on the tray to let the chickpeas crisp up further before serving.
