- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 (5-ounce) package baby arugula

Instructions

Place arugula, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, oil, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a bowl; toss to coat. Divide arugula mixture evenly among 6 plates; top each serving with about 3/4 cup chicken mixture.
