Lemon Herb Chicken Breast with Chickpea Salad
Savor a Mediterranean-inspired plate featuring tender, lemon-herb marinated chicken breast paired with a refreshing chickpea salad tossed in a bright olive oil dressing and dotted with crisp cucumber and ripe tomato.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/3 cup cooked Chickpeas
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup diced Cucumber
1/4 cup diced Tomato
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp extra Chickpeas (optional adjustment)
1 tbsp Fresh Herbs (oregano or parsley)
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked and lightly charred.
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chickpeas, diced cucumber, diced tomato, and extra chickpeas if using for slight adjustment.
Drizzle the olive oil over the salad, toss gently, and season with a little salt, pepper, and an extra squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
Slice the grilled chicken breast and serve it atop or beside the vibrant chickpea salad for a balanced Mediterranean lunch.
