INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas (drained)
2 cups Mixed Greens
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup sliced Cucumber
1 handful Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Cilantro, Basil)
2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F to roast the chickpeas.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Pat them dry with a paper towel, and toss with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy, stirring halfway through.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once done, let it rest before slicing into strips.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced red bell pepper, cucumber, and a handful of fresh herbs.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice with the remaining olive oil (if any) and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the dressing.
Add the sliced chicken and roasted chickpeas to the salad bowl, drizzle with the citrus dressing, and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately.
