Savor the vibrant flavors of tender herb-crusted chicken paired with a refreshing citrus arugula salad.

INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole-Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons Fresh Mixed Herbs (Rosemary, Thyme, Parsley)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (for chicken crust)
2 cups Fresh Arugula
1/2 medium Orange, segmented
2 teaspoons Olive Oil (for salad dressing)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a shallow dish, combine whole-wheat breadcrumbs with chopped fresh herbs, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Lightly brush the 5-ounce chicken breast with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
Dredge the chicken breast in the breadcrumb-herb mixture ensuring an even crust.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the salad by placing 2 cups of fresh arugula in a bowl.
Add segmented pieces from 1/2 medium orange to the arugula.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
Slice the herb-crusted chicken and serve it atop or beside the citrus arugula salad.
