Warm, sweet tomatoes, tangy Balsamic vinegar, and arugula (or rocket, for some of you) over tender chicken…now that’s a perfect bite! It’s full of flavor and easy to make. This is perfect for dinner TONIGHT! 😀
This dish so delicious, it won me a Mini-Challenge on the first episode of Food Network’s Rachael vs. Guy Kids’ Cook Off (unfortunately, most of it was edited out of the episode)!
Sautéed Chicken with Warm Tomato and Arugula Salad

Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast havles, about 6 oz (185 g) each
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- ¼ cup shallots, minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups cherry and pear tomatoes, preferably a mix of colors and shapes, stemmed and halved
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves, torn and packed
- 2 cups fresh arugula or rocket
Instructions
- Pound Chicken Thin: One at a time, place the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and lightly pound with a meat pounder to a thickness of about 1/2 inch (12 mm). Season the chicken generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Cook Chicken: In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan, add the chicken and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, turning once, until nicely browned and opaque throughout, 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer each piece to a plate as it is finished and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Add the shallots and garlic to the frying pan and cook, stirring often, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and vinegar and cook, still stirring often, until the tomatoes begin to soften and split, about 4 minutes. Stir in the basil and arugula, and season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, place a chicken breast on each of 4 warmed individual plates and spoon the warm tomato salad on top. Serve right away.
