Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice freshly squeezed
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Chicken

4 pieces chicken breasts boneless, skinless

Arugula Salad

4 cups arugula washed and dried
1/4 cup parmesan cheese shaved
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1 In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper for the marinade.
2 Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best results.
3 Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
4 Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5 While the chicken is grilling, prepare the arugula salad. In a large bowl, combine arugula, shaved parmesan cheese, and toasted pine nuts.
6 In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the arugula salad and toss gently to combine.
7 Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
8 Serve the sliced Tuscan Lemon Herb Chicken alongside the fresh arugula salad.
