Garbanzo Beans

Chickpeas are a staple in the Mediterranean diet. Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, offer a variety of health benefits. These benefits include improved digestion, a lowered total amount of cholesterol, and helping to control blood sugar. They are also high in fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B-6 content, which all support heart health.

For this recipe, you just need to pick up some canned garbanzo beans from the store. Just be sure to pick one with lower or no sodium content. Also, wash and drain the beans before cooking them in the oven.

Tomatoes:

The Mediterranean diet focuses on whole foods, unprocessed. Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants and are considered as a star ingredient in the Mediterranean diet.

For this recipe, I used some cherry tomatoes on the vine. Feel free to use any other kinds of tomatoes that you can find in your supermarket or backyard.

Cauliflower:

Cauliflower is a versatile veggie that can be dressed up in many ways. One of my favorite ways to cook cauliflower is to roast the florets! It always tastes great with simple herbs seasoning. Therefore, cauliflower would make the perfect addition to this Mediterranean chicken recipe.

Cumin:

Cumin is the aromatic seed of a plant of the parsley family. Ground cumin is often used as a spice in Latin American, Middle Eastern, African, and Indian cuisines.

Paprika:

Paprika goes well with chicken. It has a pungent taste when heated. It adds both color and flavor to the dishes. For this recipe, I used smoked paprika because it has a sweet pepper flavor, even without any heat.

Coriander:

Coriander is a member of the same family as parsley, the Umbellifers. Coriander is commonly used as a spice in Asia and Mediterranean cuisines. Coriander not only adds flavor to the dish but also offers many health benefits.
