Method
-
Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. On a large baking tray, toss the chickpeas with the paprika, soy sauce, maple syrup and ½ tbsp oil together, then roast for 15 mins, tossing occasionally, until lightly crispy.
-
Heat ½ tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium high heat, add the garlic and ciabatta and fry for 5-6 mins, stirring frequently, until crisp and golden. Add the chicken-style pieces to the pan and fry according to pack instructions until heated through.
-
Whisk together the Caesar dressing ingredients to pouring consistency, adding a splash of water if it is too thick. Season with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
-
Tip the lettuce into a large bowl and top with the roasted chickpeas, ciabatta croutons, chicken-style pieces and avocado and drizzle with the Caesar dressing. Toss together before serving.
