4 Garlic Cloves (minced)
4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
1 15 oz Can of Garbanzo Beans (not drained)

Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

- In a cast iron skillet, heat the other 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat and cook your chicken for about five minutes each side.
- Meanwhile in another bowl save about 4 Tbsp of the garbanzo bean liquid then drain and rinse your beans. Once drained and rinsed combine the beans with the 4 Tbsp fluid save earlier. Take the rest of the lemon-paprika mixture and add it to the garbanzo beans and mix together.
- When chicken has been browned on both sides, pour the garbanzo beans into the pan with the chicken making sure to get the garbanzo beans around the chicken and not on top of it. Place your skillet in the oven and cook for 8 – 10 minutes or until the chicken is done.
- While you are baking your chicken make you couscous according to the directions that they came with. When it is ready add your diced tomatoes and fluff with a fork.
- When chicken is done transfer it to a plate and add the garbanzo beans to the couscous mixture and mix. Serve with the chicken
