INGREDIENTS
3 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Cooked Chickpeas
1.5 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 cup Halved Cherry Tomatoes
2 tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Allow to rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking process.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Drizzle the lemon-herb vinaigrette over the pasta mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Top the salad with the grilled chicken slices and serve immediately, or chill slightly before serving if desired.
