Wash produce before use

1

Make the quick-pickled shallots; prep and cook the chicken

  • Peel and finely chop enough shallots to measure ⅓ cup [⅔ cup].
  • Juice the lemon.
  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine the shallots and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Let stand, stirring occasionally.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the chicken and cook, turning once, until slightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until firm and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil between batches if needed.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the salad and the dressing.

2

Make the salad; finish the dressing

  • Cut a small corner from the beet packaging and drain off any excess liquid; coarsely chop the beets.
  • Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions.
  • Coarsely chop the dill.
To the bowl with the shallots, add the beets, scallions, arugula, and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, stir together the lemon-tahini dressing base, dill, and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the beet and arugula salad to individual plates and top with the chicken. Spoon over the lemon-tahini dressing and serve.
