SPICY SRIRACHA GRILLED CHICKEN AND WATERMELON SALAD
What a delicious summer salad! Baby arugula is a great base that adds a touch of nuttiness. The addition of watermelon, basil, and Feta is a delightful flavor combination and gives the salad its fresh summery feel. Sriracha grilled chicken has just enough kick without dominating the flavors. Jess's slightly sweet and tangy...

Steps:
- 1. Prepare gas grill to medium heat. Cut each (8oz) chicken breast horizontally nearly through, open like book and pound to 1/2-inch. Season both sides with pinches of salt and pepper.
- 2. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with 2 Tbsp of the lemon juice whisked with Sriracha.
- 3. Marinate at room temperature for 5 minutes.
- 4. Oil grill. Grill chicken, flipping once, about 4-5 minutes per side, until meat tests 160 internally.
- 5. Let rest while preparing the salad.
- 6. For dressing, in a small bowl, combine the remaining 4 Tbsps lemon juice with the olive oil, agave, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Whisk well.
- 7. In a medium bowl, gently toss arugula, watermelon, tomatoes, Feta, basil, and half of the dressing; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- 8. Divide salad mixture among 4 plates. Top with chicken, sliced, and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
- 9. Cook's note: Though you can substitute another hot sauce for the Sriracha sauce in a pinch, we love this for its flavor, not just its heat!
