Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to create the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour half of the honey glaze over them. Let marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, basting with remaining glaze halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and chicken is caramelized.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, toss 3 cups packed arugula with 1 cup mixed citrus segments, 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds, 1/4 small thinly sliced red onion, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Step 5: Serve grilled honey-glazed chicken breasts atop the citrus arugula salad for a bright, balanced meal.
