Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
Olive oil cooking spray
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces arugula (about 1 bunch)
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, such as Parmigiano-Reggiano
4 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • One at a time, place the chicken breast halves on a cutting board between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Pound with the flat side of a meat mallet or the bottom of a small, heavy skillet until 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle each piece all over with 1/8 teaspoon salt; season with pepper.
  • Coat a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Put 2 chicken breast halves, smooth sides down, in the pan; they should lie flat without touching. Cook 4 minutes; turn, and cook until no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes more. Wipe the skillet clean; repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Whisk together the lemon juice and 4 teaspoons oil in a large bowl. Add the arugula; toss to coat. Divide among 4 plates. Top with a chicken breast half, and drizzle each with 1/2 teaspoon oil. With a vegetable peeler, shave the cheese over the plates, dividing it evenly. Serve with lemon wedges.
