Ingredients

  • 4 medium skinless boneless chicken breasts
  • Lemon Oregano Salad Dressing
  • 6 cups baby arugula
  • 4 ears corn or 2 cups frozen corn
  • ¼-⅓ cup Lemon Pickled Red Onions
  • ½ cup salted cashew halves

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in a large ziplock bag. Add 2 tablespoons of Lemon Oregano Salad Dressing. Seal bag and massage to coat chicken with marinade. Allow to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  2. Place corn in a large zip-lock bag. Add 1 tablespoon water and seal bag. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Remove bag from microwave and set aside until cool enough to handle, then cut kernels from cobs and set aside.
  3. If using frozen corn, place corn in a microwave-safe, with a lid. Add 1 tablespoon water and cover. Cook on high power for 4 minutes. Set aside to cool
  4. Preheat grill on medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate. If cooking indoors, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat
  5. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  6. Place chicken on prepared grill and cook, turning once until cooked through and internal temperature is 160˚F, approximately 5-6 minutes on each side. Remove from grill and tent with foil for 5 minutes.
  7. If cooking on grill (or sauté) pan, place chicken in prepared pan and lightly brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Cover, and continue cooking 5-10 minutes (depending on thickness), until center of chicken reaches 160˚F with an instant thermometer.
  8. To prepare salads, divide arugula between 4 shallow serving bowls or 4 large plates. Sliced chicken and arrange down the center of each bowl/plate. Scatter salad with corn, Lemon Pickled Red Onions and cashews, then drizzle lightly with dressing. Pass extra dressing at the table.
