Whisk wine, lemon juice, shallot, olive oil, and garlic together in a shallow bowl. Add chicken breasts to the bowl and marinate for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the salad: Whisk lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, lemon zest, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add arugula and tomatoes; toss to combine. Cook the chicken: Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate, or heat a skillet over high heat. Remove chicken from marinade; discard remaining marinade. Season chicken with remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook chicken on the preheated grill until golden brown and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Plate chicken with arugula salad on top. Recipe Tips Use grape tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes if desired, or for a more colorful dish, use multi-colored tomatoes.If you find arugula too bitter, you can substitute spring mix, spinach, or romaine lettuce.
