Ingredients

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 small shallot, chopped
1/4 cup pure olive oil
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground fresh black pepper
4 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, pounded thinly
Salt
1/2 pound arugula
2 ripe beefsteak tomatoes, diced
1 small red onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for garnish
Lemon halves, for garnish

Directions

Whisk together lemon juice, shallot, olive oil and black pepper in a large baking dish. Add the chicken, turn to coat and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Preheat grill to high. Remove chicken from marinade, season with salt on both sides and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and just cooked through.

Combine arugula, tomatoes and onions in a large bowl, toss with the vinegar and oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place each paillard on a large plate, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and top with some of the arugula-tomato salad. Garnish with lemon halves.

Light & Fresh!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this tonight for my dad and my daughter and both ate it up. I followed the recipe almost exactly, except that i used... balsamic vinegar instead of red wine vinegar for the dressing. it worked just fine. I did let it marinate for an hour, which probably kicked up the flavor a bit. I loved the flavors and it was one of the simplest recipes to make. try it.Read more

Mediocre at best
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Eh. This chicken was pretty bland, despite the recipe followed exactly. I did the chicken half and half (1/2 marinated... then grilled, 1/2 marinated then baked at 350 in the oven). The half baked in the oven (in the marinade) was much more flavorful - recommended! As for the salad, I used 1/2 red wine and 1/2 balsamic vinegar. I think that the balsamic worked well with the tomatoes. The combination is nice b/c the sweetness of the tomatoes complements the bitterness of the arugula well. Actually liked the simple salad more than the chicken. Perhaps the chicken would benefit from the addition of an herb (herbs de provence or tarragon)?Read more

Fast and easy for the stay at home Dad!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I thought this was a great recipe~! Fast and to the point, marinated chicken for 50 minutes, came out super juicy,... substituted shallots with scallions, and put horseradish on the underside of the chicken after it was cooked. Couldn't find the arugula so I used just green leaf still was a hit, the horseradish brought out a bang in this dish. Super, Super, but not five minutes, and my kitchens a mess. Remember I am a DAD!

Good Basic and Healthy Chicken Recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this recipe and while lemon and arugula are two of my favorite flavors, I was expecting a bit more out of the... resulting dish. Both my boyfriend and I liked it, but it was definitely more of a light, im-on-a-diet sort of meal. Definitely a good go-to but not the most flavorful chicken recipe in the world. Read more

Excellent overall
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My whole family LOVED this recipe. I marinaded the chicken for over an hour and found that when we grilled it, it was tender... and juicy and had tons of flavor. After it was cooked, I cut it up and mixed it into the salad. A little goes a long way. I didn't have any red wine vinegar so I used some white balsamic with the olive oil and it went very well with the lemony chicken. The pepper in the arugula brought out the pepper in the chicken. Great recipe. Will definitely make again.Read more
