Preparation

First, poach chicken. Fill a medium saucepan halfway with filtered or spring water. Bring to a boil. Add the chicken, reduce heat to medium, and gently simmer until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper.
Divide the arugula among bowls and top with the chicken, avocado, and radishes.
Drizzle with dressing.
Serve.
