  • To prepare the salsa: Cut the citrus into segments, then cut each segment in half cross-wise. Remove any seeds.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the citrus segments, jalapeno, cilantro, and red onion. Mix with olive oil and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
  • Heat the oven to 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat and spray it with cooking spray. Leave the baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.
  • Combine the panko and parmesan in a shallow dish. Add the flour to a second dish and season with salt and pepper. Add the egg and water to a third dish.
  • Working with one piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour, then in the egg, then in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the chicken in a single layer on the baking sheet. Spritz the top of the chicken with cooking spray.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake another 5 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Toss the arugula with the liquid that has accumulated in the bottom of the bowl of salsa. Top each chicken cutlet with arugula and salsa.
