Last week I got the cutest message from my husbands’ grandma “Phi I have to let you know what just happen, I bought a package of arugula, which I very seldom do and I have chicken breast out, so I googled a recipe for chicken and arugula, as I’m going through the list one sounded good so I tapped on it not knowing whose it was and your pretty smiley face appeared. What a joy, now I’m off to make your recipe.”

How to make a salad with chicken and potatoes

She was talking about this crispy chicken and arugula salad! It totally made my day…and got me thinking of chicken and arugula…because I too had chicken and arugula in the fridge.

I love peppery arugula and chicken and lemon and potatoes are just such a great compliment!

This arugula salad with roasted chicken and potatoes comes together so nicely, it’s also a great sheet pan meal. I have a love of sheet pan recipes, because you just line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and then when you’re done roasting clean up is a breeze!

What I also love about this arugula salad is that it can be served with the chicken and potatoes warm, or cold.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lemon zest and juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • 2 pinches of pepper
  • 1 lb chicken tenders or chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 lb baby red potatoes
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 4 cups arugula

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a small bowl grate zest from the lemon and squeeze the juice into another bowl.
  • In the bowl with the lemon zest, add 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of fresh ground pepper. Rub mixture on chicken tenders and then place on prepared baking sheet.
  • Cut the baby potatoes in half (or in quarters if some are large) and place on baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the chicken and potatoes on the baking sheet. Sprinkle garlic over the contents of the baking sheet. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt over the baking sheet. Spread/turn the chicken and potatoes around the baking sheet to make sure they're coated in oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes start to turn golden brown.
  • While the chicken and potatoes cook, make the dressing. In the bowl with the lemon juice, whisk in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a teaspoon of dijon mustard, a teaspoon of honey and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Remove the chicken and potatoes from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • To serve, divide arugula into 4 bowls, top with chicken and potatoes, drizzle with dressing and serve.

    My new favorite salad topping is Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts. They have a delicious nutty flavor and have more protein, iron and omegas than chia or flax seeds. I was surprised to find hemp hearts in my Club Store and snatched up a big bag.
