Chicken with Warm Potato Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 pound baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut into pieces
  • 1 3-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 3 scallions (white and light green parts only), thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 1 1/4 pounds thin-cut skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 cups baby arugula (about 2 ounces)
  • 2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until almost tender, about 12 minutes. Add the green beans and continue cooking until the beans and potatoes are tender, about 3 more minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Gently stir in the roasted red peppers, vinegar, scallions, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
  2. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, then the chicken and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and drizzle with the lemon juice.
  3. Add the arugula to the potato salad and toss; top with the goat cheese and serve with the chicken.
