Recipe(tried): Roast Chicken Breasts with Garbanzo Beans, Tomatoes, and (Smoked) Paprika

This recipe was very good with some different flavors that we enjoyed very much. It is a little spicy but not overly so. I served it with sauteed spinach and naan. I doubled several of the ingredients so that there would be plenty for leftovers. My notations are noted after each ingredient that I changed. If you don't care for cilantro, Italian (flat leaf parsley) could be substituted. As for the smoked paprika, McCormick's has it. I have seen it in my local grocery stores in the spice aisle but I had bought mine at a specialty store after having looked for it for over a year. Be sure that you purchase the sweet smoked paprika, NOT the hot smoked paprika.
