Ingredients

Directions

  1. Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water. Bring to a boil and add 1 tablespoon salt.
  2. Add the chicken, reduce heat to medium, and gently simmer until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, honey, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
  4. Divide the arugula among bowls and top with the chicken, avocado, and radishes. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Serve with the bread (if desired).

Quick Tip

Arugula
Fresh arugula has long, firm, bright green leaves. Buy it with the roots intact if you can, since they help preserve freshness.
