Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill or skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  3. 3

    Add Pancetta and Cheese

    During the last few minutes of cooking, top each chicken breast with a slice of pancetta and a generous amount of smoked mozzarella cheese. Cover the grill or skillet to allow the cheese to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Tomato

    While the chicken is cooking, slice the tomato and set aside.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the chicken is cooked and the cheese has melted, remove from heat. On each plate, place a serving of arugula, then top with the chicken, melted cheese, pancetta, and slices of tomato. Drizzle piquillo pepper aioli over the top.
