Braised Chickpeas with Chard
Ingredients:
1 15 oz. can chickpeas, rinsed and drained (about 1.5 cups)
4 tbsp olive oil (or butter)
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 28-32 oz jar favorite marinara sauce
2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
2 cups finely chopped chard or kale
Instructions:
In a large skillet, heat four tablespoons of olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the drained chickpeas and cook until butter just begins to brown.
Add the garlic and paprika and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Pour in the jarred marinara sauce and simmer until the sauce begins to thicken, about 10 minutes. Add the greens and stir until they're just wilted.
Serve warm over crusty bread or crispy potatoes. If you feel like it, top it with your favorite cheese like Parmesan, burrata, sharp cheddar or even brie!
