Cook the chicken breast how you see fit, in a pan, air fryer, or oven.
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold running water to remove any excess brine.
Finely slice half a red chilli, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken breast, chickpeas, sliced red chilli, and fresh coriander.
Drizzle the lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil over the salad ingredients. Season with salt and black pepper.
Toss the salad gently to ensure all ingredients are coated with the dressing. Check seasoning and adjust if necessary.
Serve immediately as a refreshing and spicy meal, garnished with additional coriander if desired.
