This is a super-easy dinner and very refreshing for an outdoor barbeque or spring dinner. The lemon adds a fresh taste to a simple chicken dish.

Time 34m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
⅓ cup dry white wine
1 lemon, juiced
1 small shallot, chopped
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon zest
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
½ teaspoon salt, divided
4 cups trimmed arugula
8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Pound chicken breasts on a work surface using a meat tenderizer or heavy pan to 1/4-inch thick. Whisk wine, juice of 1 lemon, shallot, 2 teaspoons olive oil, and garlic together in a shallow bowl. Add chicken breasts; marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Whisk juice of 1 lemon, vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and lemon zest together in a large bowl; stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add arugula and tomatoes; toss to combine.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate, or heat a skillet over high heat.
  • Remove chicken from marinade; season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Cook chicken on 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.
