  • Fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro) for garnish

Marination
  1. In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the chicken breasts in the mixture for at least 15 minutes.

Notes

For added flavor, consider brining the chicken for a couple of hours before marinating it. Swap the chickpeas for other beans like black beans or kidney beans. Feel free to add veggies like bell peppers, cucumbers, or spinach to the mixture for extra nutrition.
