This dish perfectly balances savory, tangy, and herbaceous flavors in a light yet satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
3.5 oz Chicken Breast (~100g)
1/4 cup Chickpeas (~40g)
1/4 cup Diced Cucumber (~40g)
1/4 cup Halved Cherry Tomatoes (~40g)
1 tbsp Finely Diced Red Onion (~15g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing the marinade: In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, and chopped fresh parsley. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Lightly coat the chicken breast with the marinade, ensuring both sides are covered. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breast for approximately 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the chickpea salad. In a bowl, combine the chickpeas, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with any remaining lemon-herb dressing and gently toss.
Plate the grilled chicken alongside a generous serving of the chickpea salad. Garnish with extra parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
