Herb-Grilled Chicken Caesar with Crispy Chickpea Croutons
Enjoy a vibrant twist on the classic Caesar salad with herb-grilled chicken, crisp romaine, and a surprising crunch from roasted chickpea croutons. This recipe combines succulent, marinated chicken breast with fresh greens and a light Caesar dressing, creating a balanced dish that's both satisfying and delicious.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
2 cups Romaine Lettuce
1/3 cup Roasted Chickpeas (Croutons)
1 tablespoon Shredded Parmesan Cheese
2 tablespoons Light Caesar Dressing
1 Fresh Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Marinate the chicken breast with your favorite herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, and a squeeze of lemon juice) for at least 15 minutes.
Grill the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is grilling, toss the romaine lettuce with the light Caesar dressing in a large bowl.
For the crispy element, sprinkle roasted chickpeas over the dressed lettuce. If not pre-roasted, season canned chickpeas with herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, and roast in the oven at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes until crunchy.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips and lay them over the salad.
Finish with a light dusting of shredded Parmesan and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing and nutritious flavors.
