INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Romaine Lettuce
Approx. 0.33 cup roasted Chickpeas
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Light Caesar Dressing
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
2 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, half of the lemon juice, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Use this mixture to marinate the chicken breast for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, rinse and drain chickpeas. Toss them lightly with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil if needed. Roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes until crisp, shaking the pan halfway through.
Grill the marinated chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and nicely charred. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Chop the romaine lettuce and place it in a large mixing bowl. Add the light Caesar dressing and the remaining lemon juice, tossing to evenly coat the greens.
Top the dressed lettuce with sliced grilled chicken, sprinkle with roasted chickpea croutons, and finish with a dusting of Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy the balanced flavors and textures of this refreshed Caesar experience.
