Chicken, Tomato, Basil & Arugula/Spinach

Serves: 4

Chicken Tomato Basil Arugula Spinach

Ingredients

4 organic, skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1.5 to 2 pounds)

1/4-1/2 cup thinly sliced packed fresh basil leaves

1 pound ripe tomatoes (plum, beefsteak, whatever looks fresh and preferably local) diced into 1/2 inch cubes.

4-6 cups baby arugula or spinach (or a combination of both, washed and air or spun dried)

5-6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1-2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Wash and pat dry chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until just shimmering.

Cook chicken on one side for 8-10 minutes (depending on how thick breasts are) until golden brown then flip and continue to cook on that side another 8-10 minutes, scraping together any brown bits. (Add a little extra olive oil if needed and cook a few minutes longer if needed at a medium heat–always check to make sure chicken is cooked thoroughly!)

While the chicken is cooking:

In a medium size bowl, combine and toss together tomatoes, basil, garlic, vinegar, 3 tablespoons of oil and about 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper (to taste).

Let the chicken cool a few minutes then slice into 2-inch strips (or you can serve the breasts whole, whatever you fancy!)

On a large platter make a bed with the arugula or spinach mixture.

Arrange the chicken on top and spoon on the tomato mixture and drizzle the juice over all.
