Chicken and Chickpea Mediterranean Bowl
Pan-seared chicken and nutty chickpeas tossed with crisp cucumbers and tangy feta in a bright lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.25 cup chickpeas
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 oz feta cheese
4 whole kalamata olives
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 cup baby spinach
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and half of the dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, whisk together the lemon juice and the remaining dried oregano in a small bowl to create the dressing.
Dice the cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a large serving bowl, create a base with the baby spinach and layer on the diced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, and kalamata olives.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and place it on top of the vegetable mixture.
Drizzle the lemon-herb dressing over the bowl and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese before serving.
