Step-By-Step Instructions:
- 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.
- Meanwhile, cook the linguine according to package directions, omitting added oil and salt. Drain the linguine, return to the pot, and toss with butter.
- 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.
