Ingredients Amount Measure Ingredient 2 breasts, bone removed chicken breast halves 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar 1/2 cup (8 fl oz) chicken broth 1 clove garlic minced 3 cups chickpeas (15oz can) (drained) 1 teaspoon bouillon cube chicken 1 clove large garlic cloves 1 teaspoon thyme, dry, ground 1 dash salt Steps Sequence Step 1 In a deep enough dish, submerge the chicken in the chicken stock with the balsamic vinegar and garlic. Marinate 20 minutes uncovered. 2 Preheat oven to 400°F. 3 Boil 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. 4 When 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. 5 Place 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. 6 When all is ready, place a little bit of the puree on each plate and top with a chicken breast.
