Step:

  1. Boil the chicken in salted water, then fillet it and set it aside.

  2. Wash all the vegetables well. Finely chop the onions (both the spring onions and the dry one) and the leeks and then sauté them in 1 tbsp of oil for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

  3. Add the coarsely cut cabbage, the lettuce leaves quartered, the zucchinis in thick round slices, the pepper in small pieces. Add half a cup of water (the vegetables let out lots of juices), the spices, the juice of 1/2 lemon and put the lid on the pot.

  4. Boil for about 30 minutes over medium heat until the vegetables are tender (checking from time to time to make sure that the pot has enough liquid so that the vegetables don't stick to the bottom).

  5. When the vegetables are done (there shouldn't be too much liquid at this point) place the quantity that you desire on a plate and make a well in the middle where you will place the fresh arugula and the chicken on top of that. Pour the sauce (that you have already prepared by mixing the Dijon mustard with the juice of 1/2 a lemon until they are combined) over the chicken.

  6. Sprinkle with a little freshly ground pepper and serve.
