INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Chickpeas
2 cups Mixed Salad Greens
1 medium Cucumber
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley and Mint)
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by preheating your grill (or grill pan) over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and chopped fresh herbs. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Coat the chicken breast evenly with half of the lemon-herb mixture. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the chickpeas by rinsing them if using canned or draining and patting dry if using pre-cooked. Toss the chickpeas in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a dash more lemon juice.
Grill the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
For the salad base, combine mixed green salad, sliced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes in a large bowl.
Add the grilled chicken slices on top along with the roasted, crispy chickpeas.
Drizzle the remaining lemon-herb dressing over the salad, toss gently, and serve immediately.
