Grilled Chicken Salad with Quinoa and Roasted Chickpeas
A vibrant bowl of grilled chicken and fluffy quinoa tossed with fresh garden vegetables and topped with spiced chickpeas for a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
4.2 ounces Chicken Breast
0.5 cup cooked Quinoa
2 tablespoons roasted Chickpeas
2 cups Mixed Greens
0.5 cup sliced Cucumber
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes
2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F to prepare the chickpeas.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, patting them completely dry with a paper towel.
Toss the chickpeas with a small pinch of cumin and sea salt, then roast on a parchment-lined tray for 20 minutes until they reach a satisfying crunch.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then grill over medium-high heat for approximately 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Whisk the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice together in a small bowl to create a light vinaigrette.
In a large serving bowl, combine the mixed greens, cooked quinoa, sliced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken and the warm roasted chickpeas.
Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the top and toss gently before serving.
