Parmesan-Crusted Chicken -- 4 Servings
This is a wonderful little salad.
If I have this on the road, I keep everything in separate Ziploc Containers and mix it together when I am ready to eat.
1 tbl Dijon mustard
1 tbl extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1/2 tsp chopped thyme
Four 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cp freshly grated Parmesan cheese (1.5 oz)
4 cps packed arugula leaves
1 cp cherry tomatoes, halved
Preheat the oven to 475°.
In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of the mustard with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and the thyme. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then brush them all over with the mustard mixture. Pat 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan all over each breast. Transfer the chicken breasts to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake the chicken on the top shelf of the oven for about 15 minutes, or until just cooked through and nicely browned.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1 teaspoon each of mustard and olive oil; stir in 1/2 teaspoon of water. Add the arugula and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and toss well. Spoon the salad onto plates, top with the chicken and serve.
