PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Rinse the canned chickpeas and pat them extremely dry with a clean kitchen towel to ensure maximum crispiness.

  In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with 0.5 tablespoons of olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, and half of the salt and pepper.

• 4

  Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes until they are golden and crunchy.

• 5

  While the chickpeas roast, season the chicken breast with the remaining salt and pepper.

• 6

  Heat the remaining 0.5 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes per side until fully cooked.

• 7

  Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

• 8

  Plate the sliced chicken with the roasted chickpeas, then garnish with fresh parsley and a bright squeeze of lemon juice.
