INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 cups chopped Romaine Lettuce
1/2 cup roasted Chickpeas
1 tablespoon Light Caesar Dressing
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Thyme & Oregano)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken breast.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, let it rest and then slice into strips.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the chickpea croutons. If using canned or precooked chickpeas, pat them dry, toss with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil, then roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15 minutes or until slightly crispy.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce with the light Caesar dressing. Gently toss to evenly coat the leaves.
Top the dressed lettuce with the sliced chicken, roasted chickpea croutons, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy a balanced mix of flavors and textures in this nutritious, satisfying meal.
