A Pulled Chicken & Arugula Sandwich with a Tarragon Mustard Vinaigrette

Here is some tasty lunch inspo for this week: A pulled chicken & arugula sandwich with a tarragon mustard vinaigrette 🤩 This one has a ton of flavor, healthy and most of the ingredients are things you probably already have in the fridge. I have always been a huge fan of @earthboundfarm lettuce and now their greens come in a resealable pack which makes it great for fresh meals all week (and reduces 27% of plastic). 

Here’s how to make it:

Print Recipe
Servings 2 sandwhiches

Ingredients

  • @Earthboundfarm Organic Baby Arugula
  • 4 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp whole grain mustard (I think if you have mustard seeds and pickle them that would also work)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (and if looking dry add as needed)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tbsp packed Tarragon, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar 
  • 2 tbsp grated parmasean
  • almonds, roughly chopped
  • Red onion
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • Olive oil for toasting 
  • Salt/pepper/red pepper flakes
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs 

Instructions

  • Rinse and pat dry the chicken thighs. Preheat oven to 375
  • Make your marinade: Combine mustards, olive oil, minced garlic, tarragon, salt and pepper. Divide marinade in half, and set one half aside. 
  • Using the other, pour over chicken thighs and evenly coat. Lay pieces ona baking sheet and bake for 12 min. Flip and cook for another 5-8 min or until chicken gets to 165 degrees inside. Remove and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, pull chicken.
  • Meanwhile add white wine vinegar to the other half of the marinade. This will become your dressing. Pour over pulled chicken and combine.
  •  Heat olive oil in a pan and toast your bread 2-3 min per side on medium heat. 
  • Now it’s time to assemble your sandwich! Add chicken to one slide of your bread. Top with chopped almonds, onions, parmesan, and @earthboundfarm arugula. Top with other piece of bread and enjoy! 

Notes

One note: You could also easily turn this into a salad!
Optional: You can leave the chicken marinating all day if you have the time ahead. It’s delicious either way!
