The weather is warm, the sky is blue, and dinnertime is just around the corner. Sounds like the perfect day to try my grilled Chicken Paillards with Baby Arugula, Radishes, & Feta Cheese. Tender chicken cutlets marinated in Greek yogurt and lemon juice, grilled to perfection, and served on a bed of peppery arugula with crisp radishes and creamy feta cheese. A healthy and simple way to take advantage of the season’s freshest produce, and of the undeniably delicious flavor that only your trusty grill can produce.

Chicken Paillards with Baby Arugula, Radishes & Feta Cheese
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken cutlets
- ½ cup plan Greek yogurt
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Baby arugula, or watercress
- 8 radishes, chopped
- 4 oz. crumbled feta cheese
- For serving: Extra virgin olive oil, crushed red pepper flakes, a pinch of salt and pepper, juice of half a lemon
Directions:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, salt, pepper and lemon juice, whisking to combine. Add the chicken cutlets to the bowl of marinade and coat both sides of each cutlet. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- When you are ready to grill the chicken breasts, start your grill and over a medium-high heat, drizzle a touch of olive oil on each yogurt-coated chicken cutlet, and grill each cutlet for 5 minutes on each side.
- In the meantime, place a handful of washed arugula leaves on each serving plate. Top with the grilled chicken cutlet and a sprinkling of diced radishes and crumbled feta cheese. Squeeze a touch of lemon juice over each serving, along with a drizzle of quality olive oil, crushed red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- (Please note: this dish can also be made on a grill pan on your stove.)
