High Quality Ingredients
Simply Raised® Foster Farms® No Antibiotics Ever I don’t have to worry about receiving dried-out meat from an unknown source because Free Range Chicken is always fresh and never frozen. This family-run business in California ensures that its free-range hens are content and roaming around while quality is their first focus.
I therefore go right to the refrigerated meat aisle when I visit Albertsons (a huge compliment to their spotless, well-organized stores across the US) and prioritize the light green color over everything else.
We won’t survive if I don’t have chicken in my cart. You get the idea, but that’s a stretch. And when I’m ready to roll, throwing together fast and healthy dinners without much effort (because actually having the time to shower and blow dry my hair is hard enough), I prepare this peri peri chicken salad.

Ingredients
Foster Farms® Simply Raised® Free Range Chicken Breasts, One Package, No Antibiotics Ever
Marinade
- 1/4 cup olive oil and
- two limes’ juice
- Two tablespoons of paprika smoked
- Two teaspoons of oregano, dried
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- Two minced garlic cloves
Salad
- Five ounces of infant arugula

- 2/3 cup of drained canned chickpeas
- Three tablespoons of hummus
Salad Dressing
- Three tablespoons of olive oil and
- half a huge lemon’s juice
- One-fourth teaspoon of salt
Instructions
- After taking the chicken breasts out of the box, place them on a flat surface, such as a cutting board. Cover with plastic wrap and use a meat mallet or the back of a pan to gently pound the chicken until it is the same thickness as before, about 1 inch thick.
- Add the smoked paprika, dried oregano, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and garlic. Stir thoroughly, then cover the chicken breasts and let them marinate for the entire night in the fridge.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high, or about 425 degrees.
- Cover and place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. After 8 minutes of cooking, turn and cook for another 8 minutes. A meat thermometer should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit in the thickest portion of the chicken.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the salad by putting the arugula in a big bowl and adding the chickpeas, sliced red onion, and chopped cucumbers on top. Dollop two to three tablespoons of hummus in the middle and leave space on the side for the sliced chicken breasts.
- After cooking, let the chicken rest for two to three minutes before slicing it equally. To the salad, add the sliced chicken.
- Mix the lemon juice, salt, and olive oil to make the dressing. Stir thoroughly, pour over the top, and serve.
