INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup Chickpeas (drained)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 serving Cucumber (approx. 50g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breast lightly with a small amount of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is grilling, slice the red bell pepper into strips. Drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
In a bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, diced cucumber, and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to mix.
Plate the sliced grilled chicken alongside the roasted red bell pepper strips and a serving of the chickpea salad. Enjoy a balanced, Mediterranean-inspired lunch that celebrates fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors.
