Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, setting the stage for something exciting.
Season the chicken with the rosemary, caressing each side; cook in the hot oil until each side is perfectly browned, a tease for 3-4 minutes per side. Then, set aside to anticipate.
Pour that extra tablespoon of olive oil into the skillet. Cook and stir the garlic until it whispers fragrances of longing, about 1 minute.
Introduce the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, sugar, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes to the skillet; stir to combine, creating a sauce that simmers with passion.
Return the chicken to the skillet; cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer tenderly until the chicken is succulent and the juices joyously unite, about 10-12 minutes.
Invite the garbanzo beans into this sultry mix; continue to cook until they're warmed through, mingling for 2-3 minutes more. Serve this dish hot, with a side of lustful glances.
