Drizzled with olive oil for flavor and a boost of satisfying healthy fat. A wonderful, satisfying dish served with brown rice.

Ingredients
1 can of chickpeas (260 gr. drained)
1 large tomato,finely chopped
1 large onion,finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dry oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 chicken thighs or legs without skin
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Preheat the oven to 200C

Combine the chickpeas, tomato, onion, and garlic in a casserole dish or a baking dish. Mix oregano, salt and pepper, and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of this over the chickpeas.
Rub the remaining herb mixture into the chicken. Arrange the chicken on the chickpea mixture and drizzle all with the oil. Sprinkle the chicken with the paprika.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 15 to 20 minutes more, until the chicken is cooked through. Serve hot, with a side of brown rice.

The chickpeas are delicious with onions and garlic,cooked under chicken!
