You can never have enough baked chicken recipes in your repertoire. Chicken is a great low-fat source of high quality protein, and easy to prepare. Yesterday I had some family members over for a Sunday lunch. As an avid user of Epicurious.com I was anxious to try a new baked chicken breast recipe that I found there, Roast Chicken Breasts with Garbanzo Beans, Tomatoes, and Paprika.
This recipe was so easy to prepare. It took about 5 minutes to get it into the oven, then 20 minutes total baking time. It was a cinch. I served a nice green salad and basmati rice on the side. Since everyone was going back and forth to the beach, it was a great light lunch that we all enjoyed without a lot of fuss.
The fresh cherry tomatoes are a must. Don't substitute canned tomatoes here. Also, try to find the smoked paprika, if you don't already have it in your pantry. It is the ingredient that makes this dish POP. My source in Miami for smoked paprika is Delicias de Espana in South Miami. They also have an online store. Another good online source for authentic Spanish foods direct from Spain is La Tienda.
Don't be afraid to try new ingredients and foods from other cultures.
