Pan-Fried Chicken, Chickpea & Toasted Pine Nut Salad

Pan-Fried Chicken, Chickpea & Toasted Pine Nut Salad

Just a yummy, easy and delicious salad! The roast vegetable seasoning has fine breadcrumbs in the blend so it makes the chicken a little crispy, which is delish! If you can’t find it, you can use dried oregano instead.
