Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (8 oz. each), halved horizontally to form 4 cutlets
- 6 sprigs fresh oregano
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 can (15 to 16 oz.) chickpeas, rinsed
- 1/3 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 large bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Preparation
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp. olive oil over medium. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook until golden on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Turn; add the oregano, butter and half the garlic. Cook, basting with the butter, until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, cook the onion over medium, stirring often, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Discard the oregano; transfer to a food processor. Add the chickpeas, stock and 1/4 cup oil. Puree and season.
Salt the boiling water. Add the broccoli rabe. Cook 1 minute; drain. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tbsp. oil over medium; add the broccoli rabe, crushed red pepper and remaining garlic. Cook, stirring, about 2 minutes; season. Divide the chickpea mixture among plates; top with broccoli rabe and chicken.
