Grilled Chicken Breast with Crispy Chickpea Salad and Lemon Vinaigrette
Juicy grilled chicken served over a bed of arugula and oven-roasted chickpeas, tossed in a zesty lemon vinaigrette with a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas, rinsed and dried
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cups Fresh Arugula
1/2 cup Sliced Cucumber
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the dried chickpeas with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt on a baking sheet.
Roast the chickpeas for 20-25 minutes until they are golden and crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then grill over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to create the vinaigrette.
In a large bowl, combine the arugula, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes.
Toss the salad with the lemon vinaigrette until lightly coated.
Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken and the warm crispy chickpeas.
