Are you running out of things to serve chicken breast on, or next to? This is a very common problem that we chefs call, "repetitious side-dish syndrome." If you are suffering from R.S.S., you need to try this delicious garlic and herb chicken breast on lentil and arugula salad.

Arugula is a wonderfully peppery green that's become very easy to find, cleaned and neatly bagged, in all major American supermarkets. It's very popular in Europe, where it's called "rocket," due to its bright flavor, and/or the fact that it's been considered an aphrodisiac since Roman times.

The combination of the spicy lettuce, and earthy lentils, makes a delicious and nutritious bed for the grilled garlic herb chicken breasts. Enjoy!
