Warm Chicken Parmesan Salad

Ingredients:

Chicken

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 6 natural chicken cutlets, approximately 90g each
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1.5 cups store-bought marinara sauce
• 3/4 tbsp. grated mozzarella

Salad

• 3 cups young arugula
• 1 cup small basil leaves
• 0.5 tbsp. grated parmesan
• 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil
• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon champagne vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the patties with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the patties in the skillet and cook, without moving, until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute. Add the marinara sauce and turn the patties over to coat. Top with mozzarella, reduce heat to medium, and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
2. Meanwhile, combine the arugula, basil, Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar, and salt in a large bowl. Toss well to coat.
3. Place one piece of chicken on a plate and spoon over the sauce. Place some salad directly on top of the chicken and serve.
