Ingredients

*
o 1/3 cup olive oil
o 4 cloves garlic
o 2 tablespoons paprika: smoked, spicy, or a blend of the two
o 1 teaspoon ground cumin
o 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
o 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
o 2 tablespoons salt
o 1 teaspoon black pepper
o 1 whole chicken, about 3 pounds, cut into 10 pieces
o 2 cans garbanzo beans or white beans, drained
o 2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Mix the marinade: olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, red pepper, cilantro (or parsley), salt, and pepper in a bowl. Using zip-top bags or a large container suitable for marinating, combine marinade, chicken, beans, and tomatoes, ensuring that everything, especially the chicken, is evenly coated with the marinade. Let marinate a few hours, all day, or overnight.
3. When ready to cook, dump contents into large roasting pan. Roast 20-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and browned, and tomatoes have burst and caramelized.
