Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and, if using wooden skewers, soak them in water.
- Wash and dry all produce; trim strawberries and slice them lengthwise.
- Arrange the strawberries in a small baking dish, drizzle with honey and a pinch of salt, and toss to coat.
- Roast the strawberries in the oven, stirring halfway through, until they are soft, about 25 minutes; set aside to cool.
- In a bowl, zest a lemon, then whisk in mayonnaise and spices to make the marinade.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade; stir to coat evenly.
- Preheat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Thread the chicken onto skewers and cook until juices run clear and the pieces are cooked through, about 8–10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mince the shallot, juice half of the reserved lemon into a small bowl, then whisk in oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing; chop the basil and add to the dressing.
- Toss together arugula, cooled strawberries, feta, and roughly chopped pistachios; fold in the shaved basil leaves and the dressing to finish the salad.
- To serve, arrange skewers with the salad on plates and squeeze the remaining lemon over the skewers.
Two tips
- Prep ahead the roasted strawberries and dressing and store separately for quicker assembly later.
- Swap the arugula for baby spinach if you like a milder greens option, keeping the rest of the ingredients the same.
