Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Mix first 9 ingredients in medium bowl.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan. Rub each chicken breast with about 2 teaspoons of the olive oil/spice mixture. Place in heated pan, skin side down and sauté for several minutes until skin is golden brown. Remove from pan and place in a large oven-safe dish.
  3. In a large bowl, combine remaining oil mixture with the beans, tomatoes, lemon slices and ½ cup cilantro, stirring gently to coat. Add to dish with chicken, surrounding chicken, but not covering. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Roast until chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle with ½ cup cilantro. Serve with Greek yogurt sauce.

Directions for the Greek yogurt sauce:

  1. Combine all ingredients. If preparing ahead, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Notes

  • Serves 4-6 depending on how large the chicken breasts are.
