Categories     Chicken     Broil

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 Tbls mustard
1 egg white
1 cup bread crumbs
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1 tsp grated lemon peel
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1 Tbls balsamic vinegar
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 tsp salt
2 bunches watercress or arugula
3 large plum tomatoes, chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Coat a broiler-pan rack with cooking spray. Preheat the broiler. In a shallow bowl, combine the mustard and egg white. In another shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cheese, and lemon peel. Dip the chicken into the mustard mixture, turning to coat, and then into the bread-crumb mixture, pressing to coat thoroughly with crumbs. Place the chicken on the prepared rack. Broil 6" from the heat for 10 minutes, turning once. If the chicken browns too quickly, turn off the broiler and bake the chicken in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the basil, vinegar, oil, and salt. Add the watercress or arugula, tomatoes, and onion, and toss to coat well. Evenly divide the salad among 4 plates. Top each with a chicken breast.
