INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 cups Romaine Lettuce
1/4 cup Chickpeas
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (grated)
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for dressing)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for marinade)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the chicken by patting it dry and then marinating it with 1 teaspoon olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped mixed herbs, salt, and pepper.
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, drain and rinse chickpeas, then pat dry. Toss the chickpeas with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a dash of olive oil. Roast in an oven preheated to 425°F for about 15-20 minutes until crispy.
In a bowl, combine the romaine lettuce with 2 tablespoons nonfat Greek yogurt, a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper to form a light Caesar dressing.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips.
Assemble the salad by placing the dressed lettuce on a plate, topping with chicken strips, roasted chickpea croutons, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors and textures.
