Ingredients
Chicken:
-
4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
-
⅓ cup dry white wine (Optional)
-
1 lemon, juiced
-
1 small shallot, chopped
-
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 clove garlic, crushed
Salad:
-
1 lemon, juiced
-
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 teaspoons lemon zest
-
½ teaspoon salt, divided
-
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
-
4 cups trimmed arugula
-
8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
Directions
-
Marinate the chicken: Pound chicken breasts on a work surface using a meat tenderizer or heavy pan to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Whisk wine, lemon juice, shallot, olive oil, and garlic together in a shallow bowl. Add chicken breasts to the bowl and marinate for 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, make the salad: Whisk lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, lemon zest, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add arugula and tomatoes; toss to combine.
-
Cook the chicken: Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate, or heat a skillet over high heat.
-
Remove chicken from marinade; discard remaining marinade. Season chicken with remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
-
Cook chicken on the preheated grill until golden brown and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Plate chicken with arugula salad on top.
Recipe Tips
Use grape tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes if desired, or for a more colorful dish, use multi-colored tomatoes.
If you find arugula too bitter, you can substitute spring mix, spinach, or romaine lettuce.
