INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 whole Lemon
2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cups Mixed Salad Greens
1/2 cup Cooked Chickpeas
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the juice of 1/2 a lemon, finely chopped rosemary and thyme, and extra virgin olive oil.
Rub the herb-lemon mixture evenly over the chicken breast.
Place the chicken on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is roasting, drain and pat the chickpeas dry. Toss them with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Spread them on a separate baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes until crispy.
In a bowl, combine the mixed salad greens with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once both chicken and chickpeas are done, slice the chicken and serve it over the salad greens. Top with crispy chickpeas for added crunch.
