Italian-inspired chicken and garbanzo beans simmered in a flavorful tomato sauce with garlic, cayenne pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 tablespoons dried rosemary
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1.5 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of aromatic olive oil. Season both sides of the chicken with fragrant rosemary, then sear in the hot oil until beautifully browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken from the pan and place it aside.
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the skillet. Sauté the garlic in the fragrant oil for about 1 minute. Introduce tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, sugar, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes; combine. Reintroduce the chicken, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat until fully cooked, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add the garbanzo beans to the skillet and sauté until heated through, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
