Lemon-Herb Chicken with Roasted Chickpeas and Crunchy Vegetable Salad
Savor a meal of tender lemon-herb marinated chicken paired with crispy roasted chickpeas and a vibrant, crunchy vegetable salad. This dish is light yet satisfying, blending zesty citrus with fresh herbs, making every bite a refreshing burst of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
1/2 cup Cucumber, sliced
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper, diced
1 medium Carrot, julienned
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Thyme)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Rinse and pat dry the chicken breast. In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken with the lemon-herb marinade and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, drain and rinse chickpeas thoroughly. Toss the chickpeas with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
While the chickpeas roast, prepare the salad by combining chopped cucumber, red bell pepper, and julienned carrot in a bowl. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden on the outside. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Plate the sliced chicken alongside a generous serving of the crunchy vegetable salad and a scattering of roasted chickpeas. Serve immediately and enjoy!
