Follow The Directions

01

Step
4 mins

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and Italian seasoning; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

02

Step
9 mins

Add both cans of chickpeas (one drained, one undrained) and marinara sauce to the skillet. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 8 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

03

Step
0 mins

Position an oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler. Preheat the broiler on high.

04

Step
0 mins

Transfer the chickpea mixture to an oven-safe skillet. Sprinkle evenly with shredded mozzarella cheese and drained sliced olives.

05

Step
5 mins

Carefully place the skillet under the preheated broiler. Broil until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned, approximately 5 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes during the onion-garlic sauté.
Fresh basil can be used as a substitute for oregano, or even combined.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Provolone, fontina, or a blend of Italian cheeses would all work wonderfully.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh oregano.
