This hearty arugula salad with roasted chicken and potatoes makes for the perfect lunch or dinner recipe and definitely being enjoyed as part of the Summer of Smoothies and Salads.

The best summer salad with chicken and potatoes

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!

The best summer salad with roasted chicken and potatoes

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.
