INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Canned Chickpeas (drained and roasted)
2 cups Mixed Salad Greens
5 Cherry Tomatoes
1/4 cup Cucumber slices
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and half of the chopped fresh herbs. Drizzle with a bit of lemon juice.
Place the seasoned chicken on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is roasting, rinse and drain the canned chickpeas. Toss them with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a small amount of olive oil along with the remaining herbs. Spread them on a separate baking tray and roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until crispy.
In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices.
Prepare a dressing by mixing the fresh lemon juice with the teaspoon of olive oil. Drizzle over the salad and toss gently.
Slice the roasted chicken breast and place it on top of the salad. Sprinkle the crispy chickpeas over the dish.
Serve immediately and enjoy a balanced meal full of vibrant flavors and textures.
