Canned chickpeas are a cost-effective protein alternative.

Cook the chicken breast until fully cooked and then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.

Core and dice the apples, leaving the skin on for added nutrients.

Chop the green pepper into small pieces.

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, apples, and green pepper.

Add the lettuce leaves and cherry tomatoes to the bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix the light soy sauce, sesame oil, balsamic vinaigrette (or white vinegar), and white sugar until smooth.
