INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 cups shredded Romaine Lettuce
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas (drained)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese
2 tbsp Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Lemon Juice
Mixed Dried Herbs & Garlic Powder, to taste
Salt & Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, mixed dried herbs, and a light dusting of garlic powder.
Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Set aside and let rest.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper to make a light Caesar dressing.
For the crispy chickpea croutons, toss the drained chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, herbs, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated 400°F oven for about 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded romaine lettuce and drizzle with the yogurt Caesar dressing. Toss until evenly coated.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips and add to the dressed lettuce. Top with the roasted chickpea croutons and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, protein-packed twist on a classic Caesar salad.
