For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Fit a baking sheet with a wire rack and set aside.

In a large skillet, add 1/4 inch oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the chicken, working in 2 batches and adding more oil if necessary, and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the chicken is cooked to 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
For the salad: In a large bowl, toss the arugula with the lemon juice, salt and a drizzle of oil. Add the tomatoes and cucumbers and season with more salt. Toss to combine.
Transfer the chicken to plates and top with the salad. Serve with the Yogurt Dressing on the side. Serve immediately.
