Ingredients

CHICKEN & CHICKPEAS

  • 140g lean chicken breast
  • 1 pack chicken seasoning
  • 1/4 can chickpeas, drained & rinsed

SALAD

  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 lettuce, cut into wedges
  • 1 pack Caesar dressing
  • 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

GREENS

  • 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil.
  2. Prep & cook chicken & chickpeas. Pat chicken dry and toss in a bowl with chicken seasoning and chickpeas. Transfer to a lined oven tray, drizzle with 1/2 tsp oil and roast in oven for 14-18 minutes, until cooked through.
  3. Slice chicken. Rest chicken for 2-3 minutes before slicing thinly. Reserve any resting juices.
  4. Cook egg. While chicken cooks, place egg in a small pot and cover with water. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and cool under cold tap. Peel and cut into half (set half aside, this is leftover).
  5. Prep salad & cook greens. When chicken has 4 minutes cook time remaining, cook asparagus and peas in pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until tender. Drain, return to pot and season.
  6. Serve lettuce wedges, greens, chicken and chickpeas drizzled with Caesar dressing and resting juices. Top with Parmesan and egg.
