Open in Pepper →This is the kind of cooking that leans on a lemon, a can of chickpeas, and whatever chicken is in the fridge. Nothing fussy, and most of it comes together in one pan or one bowl.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on the nights they want something lighter than a casserole but still filling enough to keep everybody at the table until bedtime.
Every recipe here is real weeknight food: Mediterranean Chicken & Chickpea Plate, Sheet pan Mediterranean chicken, Mediterranean Chickpea Salad, Chickpea & Kale Soup, and a Sautéed Veggie & Hummus Pita Sandwich for lunch the next day.
Marinate the chicken first
Let chicken breasts sit in yogurt, lemon juice, and olive oil for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours in the fridge, before roasting.
Roast on high heat
Sheet pan chicken and zucchini brown best at 425°F for 20 to 25 minutes, spread out so nothing steams.
Peel chickpeas for hummus
Slip the skins off a 15-ounce can of chickpeas, about 5 minutes of work, and the hummus blends noticeably smoother.
Layer salad jars right
Put dressing on the bottom, then tomatoes and chickpeas, greens on top, and it holds up 3 to 4 days in the fridge.
