Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs chicken thighs (or substitute with firm tofu for a vegetarian twist)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Juice of 1 lemon
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat & Marinate:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken (or tofu) with olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, salt, and pepper.
- Let it marinate for 15 minutes to absorb all those bold flavors.
Sauté the Aromatics:
- In an oven-safe skillet, sauté the chopped onions over medium heat until they turn translucent.
- Add the bell peppers and garlic, cooking until the veggies are softened and fragrant.
Add Fresh Vegetables:
- Stir in the cherry tomatoes and chickpeas, ensuring they mix well with the aromatics.
Combine Protein & Veggies:
- Add your marinated protein (chicken or tofu) into the skillet, mixing evenly with the vegetables.
Bake to Perfection:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- The goal is to cook the chicken until tender or the tofu until it’s nicely golden and crisp.
Finish with Zest & Herbs:
- Remove the skillet from the oven, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and sprinkle generously with chopped cilantro for that extra burst of freshness.
Plate & Serve:
- Plate your creation, ensuring each serving boasts a balanced mix of protein and vegetables.
- Enjoy the rich, authentic flavors that define the Terra Massoud Recipe!

Notes

Pro Tip: For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red chili flakes along with the spices.
To adapt for vegetarians, replace chicken with tofu or tempeh.
Avoid overcooking the chicken to maintain its juiciness.
This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or a crisp, green salad.
