Here’s another Haute dish from Martha Stewart! It’s “Chicken Milanese with Cucumber Arugula Salad! I would describe this dish as crisp and light. The chicken fried in olive oil is packed with tenderness and has a wonderfully crisp exterior. If you are watching calories, then this dish is for you! It is a good choice as it is rich in good protein and quality fats!
The arugula is an excellent source of plant protein, creamy and peppery! The dish features quality whole foods and good carbohydrates and is seasoned with spices and herbs for a flavorsome dish.
