INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas (drained)
2 cups Mixed Fresh Greens
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Chopped Parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for the chickpeas.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Toss them with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy, stirring halfway through.
While the chickpeas roast, pound the chicken breast slightly to ensure an even thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Squeeze half of the lemon over the chicken and let it marinate for 5-10 minutes.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, roasted chickpeas, and sliced chicken.
Add the remaining lemon juice and a dash of olive oil over the salad. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
