1
Prepare the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Grill the Chicken

3
Prepare Salad Base
In a large bowl, combine the arugula, grape tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella balls.
4
Add Pesto
Drizzle the pesto sauce over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine.
5
Assemble Salad
Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it on top of the salad. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Serve
Serve immediately, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
