Directions

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and zest, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Add chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly.

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden. Check internal temperature: chicken is done when it reaches 165°F (74°C).

Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice or chop. Set aside.

In a bowl or jar, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.

Whisk until emulsified, then stir in grated parmesan. Adjust seasoning and season as necessary. Set aside.

In a large bowl, add chickpeas, cannellini beans, bocconcini, pepperoncinis, tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, basil, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, artichokes, and shallot.

Pour dressing over the salad and toss until well combined.

Finish with grated parmesan and gently fold in sliced chicken
