Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the chicken pieces, oil, garlic, white part of the green onion, and lemon juice in a deep-sided 9×13-inch baking pan. Stir to coat, then bake for 12 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the linguine according to package directions, omitting added oil and salt. Drain the linguine, return to the pot, and toss with butter.
  3. Stir the arugula and green onion into the chicken, then toss the chicken mixture with the linguine. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve hot on a large platter.
