Step1
To prepare Garlic-Lime Chicken, dry chicken breast thoroughly with a paper towel. Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat.
Step2
Season chicken breast with garlic, salt, pepper and cilantro.
Step3
Once the oil shimmers in the pan, add the chicken breast, pretty-side-down first. Allow the meat to cook undisturbed until it turns golden-brown. Flip and repeat on the other side.
Step4
Add hot water to the pan. Bring to a simmer, turn heat to medium and cover. Allow chicken to cook until an thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast reads 165 degrees. Remove from heat and allow to rest for up to 10 minutes.
Step5
Slice chicken breast thinly and fan it out. Drizzle with a bit of the broth from the saute pan and a spritz of lime. Garnish with more cilantro as desired.
Step6
To prepare salad, place arugula on serving plate.
Step7
Mix together tomatoes, quinoa, onion, garlic and lime juice. Taste and season with salt and black pepper, as desired. Garnish with cilantro, avocado slices and orange segments.
Step8
Top with prepared Garlic-Lime Chicken.
