Ingredients
-
1 (8 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed
-
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
⅛ teaspoon salt plus 1/4 teaspoon, divided
-
2 small lemons, thinly sliced and seeded
-
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
-
½ cup quinoa
-
8 ounces broccoli with stems (about 1 medium head)
-
¼ cup red-wine vinegar
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
2 cups arugula
-
¾ cup chopped walnuts, toasted
-
½ cup dried cranberries
-
½ cup chopped fresh mint
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
-
Place chicken on one side of a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Roast for 10 minutes. Place lemon slices on the other side of the baking sheet. Roast, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reaches 160 degrees F and the lemons are browned, 7 to 9 minutes more.
-
Meanwhile, bring broth and quinoa to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
-
Cut broccoli florets from the stems. Trim, peel and thinly slice the stems and chop the florets into bite-size pieces.
-
Chop half of the lemon slices. Combine in a large bowl with vinegar, mustard and the remaining 3 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
-
Shred the chicken. Add the chicken, the remaining lemon slices, the broccoli, the quinoa, arugula, walnuts, cranberries and mint to the dressing; toss to combine.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
