Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F and wash and dry all produce.
Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Toss potatoes with 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the middle of the oven, until golden-brown, 22-24 min.
While potatoes roast, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the same pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. Sear, until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side. Transfer to a baking sheet. Bake in the top of the oven, until cooked through, 12-14 min.** Wipe the pan clean.
While chicken roasts, halve, core, then cut pear into 1/2-inch pieces. Zest, then juice the lemon.
Heat the same pan (from step 2) over medium heat. When hot, add walnuts to dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate. Add pears and 1/2 tsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl) to the same pan. Cook, stirring often, until golden-brown, 2-3 min. Remove pan from heat, then transfer pears to another plate.
Whisk together mustard, lemon zest, 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 1/2 tsp sugar and 2 tbsp oil (dbl all for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add roasted potatoes and pears. Toss to coat.
Thinly slice chicken. Add arugula and spinach mix to the large bowl with pears, then toss to combine. Divide salad between plates. Top with chicken. Sprinkle with toasted walnuts and crumble goat cheese over top.

- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, though a few noted it required more dishes than expected for a salad.
- Suggestions: Consider grilling the chicken for more flavor; try sweet potatoes or butternut squash instead of yellow potatoes for added depth.
- Portions: Some felt it wasn't quite filling enough as a main dish; others appreciated the generous chicken portions.
- Texture: The mix of warm potatoes with cool greens divided opinions; consider serving potatoes separately for those who prefer crisp salads.
