Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano, finely chopped
- 3 cups Arugula
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese shavings
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine arugula, cherry tomatoes, and parmesan cheese.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and fresh oregano.
Step 7
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Step 8
Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter. Top with the dressed salad and serve immediately.
