Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
