Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prep the Chicken
Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Chop the Vegetables
Mince the garlic cloves, dice the red bell pepper and zucchini. Set aside.
Prepare the Chickpeas
Drain and rinse the chickpeas under cold water. Set aside.
Chop the Basil
Roughly chop the fresh basil leaves and set aside for garnishing.
Cooking
Sear the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and sear them for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Combine Ingredients
Return the seared chicken to the skillet. Add the crushed tomatoes and chickpeas, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cook Through
Cover the skillet and let everything cook together for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors meld.
Finish with Basil and Lemon
Just before serving, stir in the chopped basil and lemon juice for added freshness.
