INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 cups Romaine Lettuce
1/4 cup Chickpeas (drained portion)
1 tablespoon Light Caesar Dressing
0.5 ounce Parmesan Cheese
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Rosemary & Thyme)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Start by preheating your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Pat the chicken breast dry and rub with olive oil, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and nicely charred. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is grilling, rinse the romaine lettuce and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large salad bowl.
For the crispy chickpea croutons, toss the drained chickpeas with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes until crisp, or use pre-roasted chickpeas if available.
In a small bowl, whisk together the light Caesar dressing with lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips and add to the salad bowl along with the roasted chickpeas.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Finish by sprinkling shaved Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
