Roast Chicken Breasts with Garbanzo Beans, Tomatoes and Paprika (Bon Appetit)

Last week was my birthday and I had a girls night out planned without any of the boys. I had planned to make this recipe earlier in the week, but I just didn't get to it. To make Dan's life easy since he was in charge and all alone. I decided to prep this recipe on Thursday so he could just bake it. He said it turned out really delicious and the kids loved it too. If you want to do this make ahead, just do everything up until the baking and cover it in the refrigerator over night.
