Instructions

Place all dressing ingredients in a small bowl and mix well to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Heat oil in a cast iron pan over med-high heat. Add chickpeas then season with salt and pepper. Cook stirring frequently, until golden and crispy, for about 15–20 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same preheated pan, pour in the remaining oil. Add chicken breast and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Cook for about 7-8 minutes per side or until juices run clear (the internal temperature should be 75C/165F). Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest a bit, then slice it.
Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Toss with the skinny dressing.
