Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet or a rolling pin, gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Season the chicken breasts with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine arugula, cherry tomatoes, and parmesan cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and fresh oregano.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter. Top with the dressed salad and serve immediately.
