This dish makes a terrific low-carb dinner, but it also doubles as a grab-and-go lunch: Just layer the cutlets and arugula salad on toasted ciabatta bread or Italian heros.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 8 small chicken cutlets (about 1 1 ⁄4 lb total)
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 package baby arugula (about 6 cups)
- 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 2 oz. Parmesan
Instructions
- Heat 1 Tbsp of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with 1 ⁄2 tsp salt and 1 ⁄4 tsp pepper. Working in two batches, cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to plates.
- In a large bowl, toss the arugula, lemon juice, remaining Tbsp oil, and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper. Fold in the cheese. Serve with the chicken and lemon wedges, if desired.
