INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

0.5 cup canned chickpeas

1 cup broccoli florets

1 medium red bell pepper

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp lemon zest

1 tbsp lemon juice

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp smoked paprika

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Cut the chicken breast into uniform 1-inch cubes and dice the red bell pepper into similar-sized pieces.

• 3

  Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then use a clean kitchen towel to pat them very dry; this is the secret to getting them crispy in the oven.

• 4

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

• 5

  Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, tossing thoroughly to coat every piece.

• 6

  Spread the mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring there is space between the ingredients so they roast rather than steam.

• 7

  Roast for 20 to 22 minutes, tossing the ingredients halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the chickpeas are slightly crunchy.

• 8

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