🍋🐓 Grilling Series S2 Ep. 7: Lemon Grilled Chicken with Arugula and Figs 🍋🐓 I hope you’re following my grilling series where I’m sharing easy grilling recipes all summer long! 

🐓 Chicken 🐓
2lbs chicken breast, thinly sliced 
1 large lemon, zested and juiced
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
4 garlic cloves, grated
1/4 cup EVOO 
Handful of fresh basil, torn
Salt & Pepper 

🥗 Salad 🥗 
1 large lemon, juiced
Equal amount of EVOO
1 garlic clove, grated 
1/2 shallot, finely diced
1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard 
Honey, to taste
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Arugula
Fresh figs, halved 
Parmigiano ribbons 

Add all the chicken marinade ingredients to a large bowl and whisk until combined. Add the chicken and mix until fully coated. Let the chicken marinade for 30 minutes 

While the chicken marinades, make the vinaigrette by mixing together the lemon juice, EVOO, shallot, garlic, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Set aside in the fridge. 

Heat a grill over high heat and spray with non-stick spray. Then brush the cut side of the figs olive oil. Place the figs on the grill, cut side down, and grill for 6-8 minutes or until slightly charred. 

While the figs cook, add the chicken and grill for 3-5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) or until internal temp reaches 165°

Season the arugula with salt and dress with as much lemon vinaigrette as your heart desires. Then plate the chicken and top with dressed arugula, grilled figs, and parmigiano ribbons. Enjoy!
