4 ounces uncooked angel hair pasta

3 tablespoons canola oil, divided

3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

1 tablespoon butter

¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided

4 (4-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken thighs

¼ teaspoon black pepper

⅓ cup all-purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons paprika

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup whole-wheat panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)

1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1 cup baby arugula

¾ cup flat-leaf parsley leaves

⅓ cup torn fresh mint leaves

⅓ cup halved cherry tomatoes

1 large radish, thinly sliced

4 lemon wedges

Directions

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Combine pasta, 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, chives, butter and 3/8 teaspoon salt.

While pasta cooks, place each chicken thigh between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Sprinkle chicken with remaining 3/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Combine flour and paprika in a shallow dish. Place eggs in a shallow dish. Place panko in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg; dredge in panko, shaking off excess.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil; swirl to coat. Add chicken; cook 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan. Turn chicken over; cook 3 minutes or until done.

While chicken cooks, combine remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Add arugula, parsley, mint, tomatoes, and radish; toss. Serve chicken with salad, pasta and lemon wedges.
