So I recently got a cast iron pan and have been enjoying cooking with it. Never had a proper one, just a ceramic one. Anyways here's a good recipe I have really been enjoying.

What You Need

4 Chicken Thighs with skin and bone
Olive Oil
1 Can of Garbanzo beans
1 Can of Tomato Paste
Chicken Stock
Onion
Garlic
Fresh Parsley
Sambal
Lemon
Cast Iron Pan

Preheat oven to 425

Heat up your olive oil in the pan and season your chicken with your preferred spices (I use salt/pepper/onion powder/cayenne pepper). Cook chicken in oil for about 5 minutes each side. While this is cooking you want to dice up your onion and garlic. Pull out the chicken and place to the side, drain most of the rendering but leave enough to fry the garlic and onion in until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add your can of tomato paste and let breakdown, usually about 1 minute. Add your can of garbanzo beans (I drain and wash mine) and add some chicken stock to give it some liquid and make sure everything is well mixed. Add your sambal, I have done 2 spoonfuls which gave it a good amount of heat without being overpowering and bring to a light boil. Add your chicken back in skin side up and place in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. Chop up your parsley to add on top after and you can slice up some lemon to squeeze over for some added flavor. I serve with some rice and a salad and all things considered it's a very cheap and delicious meal.
