Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel; removing as much moisture as possible is key for maximum crunch.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried chickpeas and the pre-cooked shredded chicken breast.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper, tossing until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 15 minutes.
While the chickpeas roast, remove the tough stems from the kale and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, add the kale and nutritional yeast, and toss gently to incorporate the spices and oil.
Return the pan to the oven for an additional 8 to 10 minutes until the kale is crisp and the chickpeas are golden and firm.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving to let the textures fully crisp up.
