Steps
Sequence Step
1In a deep enough dish, submerge the chicken in the chicken stock with the balsamic vinegar and garlic. Marinate 20 minutes uncovered.
2Preheat oven to 400°F.
3Boil water in a small pot filled halfway (just enough to cover the chickpeas). Once boiling, place the chickpeas in with the bouillon cube. Boil for about 5-7 minutes to soften the peas.
4When ready, transfer the peas into a blender with the garlic and thyme and blend together; blend in one tablespoon at a time of the boiled water to create a more watery consistency. The result should be a puree a little more fluid than pasty.
5Place the chicken breasts inside an oven-safe pan. Broil the chicken for about 12-15 min, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender when tested with a fork.
6When all is ready, place a little bit of the puree on each plate and top with a chicken breast.
