Herb-Grilled Chicken Caesar with Crispy Chickpea Croutons
Savor a fresh twist on a classic Caesar salad featuring herb-marinated grilled chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, and a unique take on croutons using roasted chickpeas. This dish packs a satisfying crunch and a burst of flavor from a light lemony Caesar dressing, making it a balanced meal perfect for a health-conscious diner.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 cups Romaine Lettuce
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas (drained)
2 tablespoons Light Caesar Dressing
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 Fresh Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Begin by mixing garlic powder and dried oregano with a dash of olive oil (if desired) to create a light marinade for the chicken.
Rub the chicken breast with the herb marinade and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear.
While the chicken is grilling, toss the drained chickpeas with a pinch of garlic powder and oregano. Roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15 minutes until they become crispy, serving as a crunchy alternative to traditional croutons.
Chop the romaine lettuce and place in a large bowl. Add the grilled chicken, sliced into strips, on top of the lettuce.
Drizzle the light Caesar dressing over the salad and sprinkle the crispy chickpea croutons evenly.
Squeeze a fresh lemon wedge over the salad just before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
