Preheat the oven to 450°F (to roast the sweet potatoes and chicken). Start prepping when the oven comes up to temperature!
Wash and dry all produce.* Zest, then juice half the lemon. (1 lemon for 4 ppl). Cut the remaining lemon into wedges. On a baking sheet, toss the sweet potatoes with a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the centre of oven, stirring halfway through cooking, until the potatoes are tender and golden-brown, 20-22 min.
Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the panko into a shallow dish. Coat the chicken all over with the mayo. Working with one breast at a time, press each piece of chicken into the panko to coat completely.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then the chicken. Pan-fry until golden-brown, 3-4 min per side. Transfer the chicken to the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes. Bake in the centre of the oven until chicken is cooked through, 10-12 min.

Add the broth concentrate(s), lemon zest, 1 1/2 tsp honey (double for 4 ppl) and 1/2 cup water (double for 4 ppl). Stir together, until slightly thickened, 2-3 min.

Divide the panko-crusted chicken and arugula salad between plates. Sprinkle the goat cheese over the salad. Drizzle the pan sauce over the chicken. Squeeze over a lemon wedge, if desired.
