INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas
1/2 medium Cucumber
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/4 small Red Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (parsley & basil)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken breast dry and marinate it with lemon juice, olive oil, and chopped fresh herbs, reserving a few herbs for garnish.
Place the chicken breast on a baking tray and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest before slicing.
While the chicken bakes, drain and rinse the chickpeas. Spread them on a small baking sheet, drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil, and roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until they are crispy.
Chop the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Combine them in a bowl. Toss with any remaining lemon juice and fresh herbs.
Slice the baked chicken into strips. Assemble the salad by laying the vegetable mix as a base, topping with sliced chicken and crispy chickpeas.
Serve immediately for a fresh, crunchy, and protein-packed meal.
