I don’t have much to say today except that smoked paprika is one of the best things on the planet.

Roast Chicken Breasts with Garbanzo Beans, Tomatoes, and Paprika

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 4 chicken breast halves with bones
• 1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas) drained
• 1 (12-ounce) container cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Mix first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Pour 1 teaspoon spiced oil mixture into a small bowl; whisk in yogurt and set aside (this is the sauce for later).

Place chicken on a large rimmed baking sheet. Rub 2 tablespoons spiced oil mixture over chicken. Add beans, tomatoes, and 1/2 cup cilantro to remaining spiced oil mixture; toss to coat. Pour bean mixture around chicken. Sprinkle everything generously with salt and pepper.

Roast until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cilantro. Transfer chicken to plates. Spoon bean mixture over. Serve with yogurt sauce.

Makes 4 servings.
