Lemony Arugula Chicken Salad
15 MINUTE MEAL!!
That’s all you really need to know, right? You’re busy, I’m busy, we’re all busy. So here is a great meal scaled down for the normal, everyday person to make and enjoy.
Do yourself a huge favor and go pick up one of those pre-made fully cooked chickens that most grocery stores carry. Wegman’s groceries carry rotisserie, bbq and lemon chickens. For this recipe, I scooped up the lemon chicken.
The only actual cooking you’ll do is boiling a bit of water in two different pots for the corn and couscous. Yup, that’s it.
Slice up your cucumber and chicken, whisk the dressing together and you are GOOD TO GO!
Ingredients
Chicken breast; my recipe is BASIC and I pick up fully cooked chicken for $5.99 at my grocery store. If you want to make lemon chicken from scratch here’s a link to a chef I love: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/lemon-chicken-breasts-recipe-1923711
