Ingredients

  • 1 14-ounce can no-salt-added tomato sauce
  • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 small bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup dried apricots, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1/4 teaspoon garam masala or ground cinnamon, plus more for topping
  • Large pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup low-fat (2 percent) Greek yogurt
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for topping (optional)
  • 3 whole-wheat pitas, quartered

Directions

Combine the tomato sauce, 1 cup water, the chickpeas, bell pepper, apricots, garlic, garam masala, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large skillet and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Nestle the chicken in the tomato-chickpea mixture; reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, turning the chicken once, until cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Divide the chicken and tomato-chickpea mixture among plates, top with the yogurt and sprinkle with parsley and garam masala to taste. Serve with the pita wedges.

    Very flavorful, healthy, and quick weeknight dinner. I added a bit more garam masala and red pepper flake. The flavor was really complex and tasty. Adding the yogurt on top is a must. I served with quinoa and a salad with feta. I will definitely keep in my file.
