Boursin Chickpeas with Burst Tomatoes and Crispy Broccoli
Creamy, garlicky Boursin chickpeas with burst cherry tomatoes, topped with crispy roasted broccoli. Mostly hands-off, and high in both fiber and protein.
Ingredients
- 24 ounces cherry tomatoes about 2 pints
- 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas drained, 2 to 3 tablespoons liquid reserved
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic about 6 cloves
- 1 5.3-ounce package Boursin cheese Garlic and Fine Herbs or Shallot and Chive
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 average-size heads broccoli cut into florets
- 1 teaspoon salt divided
- black pepper to taste
- cooked grilled or rotisserie chicken optional, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, toss the cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, chopped garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Nestle the Boursin in the center.
- Roast the skillet for 10 minutes to give it a head start.
- Meanwhile, toss the broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon olive oil and ½ teaspoon salt on a sheet pan. Add it to the oven.
- Roast both pans for about 20 more minutes, until the broccoli is browned and crispy at the edges and most of the tomatoes have burst and the juices are bubbling.
- Stir the softened Boursin into the chickpeas and tomatoes, pressing a few tomatoes so everything turns into a creamy sauce, about 1 minute. Add a splash of the reserved chickpea liquid if it looks dry.
- Top with the roasted broccoli and serve hot, with chicken if you like.
Notes
One-pan version: roast everything on one sheet pan with the Boursin in the center at 425°F for about 25 minutes. Crispier broccoli, less sauce.
Add leftover grilled or rotisserie chicken on top for a heartier meal.
