INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (113g)
50g Canned Chickpeas
2 cups Romaine Lettuce (120g)
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (5g)
2 tbsp Light Caesar Dressing (30g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Mixed Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, toss the chickpeas with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a dash of olive oil. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until crispy, stirring halfway through.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and mixed herbs. Heat a pan with 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.
Transfer the chicken to the oven (or cover and let finish cooking on a lower heat on the stove) for an additional 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
While the chicken finishes cooking, chop the romaine lettuce and place it in a bowl. Add the light Caesar dressing and toss lightly to coat.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces and lay them atop the dressed lettuce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and top with the crispy chickpea croutons.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed meal with a twist on classic Caesar flavors.
