Instructions

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until lightly blistered and softened.
Add chickpeas to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and flavors meld. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, parsley, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Divide the chickpea-tomato mixture among bowls. Drizzle generously with herby yogurt. Serve with toasted baguette or crusty bread on the side, if desired.
