Preparation
1
Prep

Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Drain and rinse chickpeas, then pat dry with paper towels. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.

2
Cook chicken

Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with half the chicken salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.) Cook until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side. Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven until chicken is cooked through, 12-14 min.**

3
Cook chickpeas

While chicken bakes, heat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chickpeas and remaining chicken salt. Season with pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until chickpeas are golden, 5-6 min. Transfer chickpeas to a large bowl to cool slightly.

4
Assemble salad

Add peppers, arugula and spinach mix, Parmesan and half the Caesar dressing to the bowl with chickpeas. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.

5
Finish and serve

Let chicken rest for 3-5 min, then thinly slice. Divide salad between plates. Top with chicken, then drizzle remaining Caesar dressing over top.
