Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 15 oz drained chickpeas with 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp harissa paste, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes until crispy, shaking pan halfway through.
  2. Step 2: While chickpeas roast, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 lb cubed chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Remove chickpeas from oven and add them to the skillet with the chicken, stirring to combine. Cook together for 2 minutes so flavors meld.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
