Parmesan-Crusted Chicken with Arugula Salad

Recipe from GillianIvy



This recipe was featured on Yahoo! Food, and I thought I ought to steal it. It sounds pretty tasty. I might try cooking it up the next time I get a chance to do some real cooking.

  • 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp. chopped thyme
  • 4 (6 oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • Salt and freshly grnd. pepper
  • ½ cu. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cu. packed arugula leaves
  • 1 cu. cherry tomatoes, halved

    1. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of the mustard with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and the thyme. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then brush them all over with the mustard mixture. Pat 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan all over each breast. Transfer the chicken breasts to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake the chicken on the top shelf of the oven for about 15 minutes, or until just cooked through and nicely browned.

    2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1 teaspoon each of mustard and olive oil; stir in 1/2 teaspoon of water. Add the arugula and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and toss well. Spoon the salad onto plates, top with the chicken and serve.
