How To Make It
In a bowl, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, parsley, paprika, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, mustard, paprika, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oregano.
Rub the marinade over the chicken breasts and let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes, then slice.
In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, white wine vinegar, crushed garlic, olive oil, and salt. Adjust salt to taste.
In each bowl, add a portion of chickpea salad, grilled chicken slices, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and olives.
Drizzle generously with yogurt dressing.
Enjoy your fresh and flavorful Mediterranean bowl!
