LEMON CHICKEN WITH AVOCADO-CORN SALSA
Avocados in the salsa supply a generous portion of monounsaturated fat and fiber. If fresh corn is not in season, opt for frozen; it will taste better and have more nutrients than any "fresh" corn in the grocery store.

Steps:
- Combine chicken with 2 tablespoons each oil and lemon juice in a shallow baking dish. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours, turning once.
- Working in a large bowl, stand each ear of corn on its flat end; shave off kernels with a serrated knife (to yield about 1 cup total).
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add corn kernels, chiles, and ginger; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool.
- Heat a grill (or grill pan) to medium (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grates for just 6 to 8 seconds). Grill chicken until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
- Stir together black beans, onion, corn mixture, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon oil. Add tomatoes, avocados, and 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste); season with pepper, and stir gently to combine.
- Toss arugula with remaining 2 teaspoons each oil and lemon juice. Divide evenly among plates, and top with chicken and avocado-corn salsa. Serve immediately.
