Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Breading the Chicken

    Set up a breading station with three plates: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, and coat in breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the breaded chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Grill the Lemon

    While the chicken is cooking, preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill. Place lemon halves cut side down on the grill for about 3-4 minutes until charred.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a bowl, combine arugula, sliced tomato, and red onion. Drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar and toss gently.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Place the cooked chicken on a plate and top with the arugula salad. Serve with grilled lemon on the side.
