Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 2 (6-oz.) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons pecan halves
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
  • 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 4 cups arugula leaves
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries

Method

  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken evenly with pepper and salt. Add chicken to pan; cook 5 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan; let stand 5 minutes. Cut across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Place pecans in a small, dry skillet over medium heat; cook 4 minutes or until lightly toasted, stirring frequently. Stir in sugar, butter, and hot sauce; cook 4 minutes or until coated, stirring frequently. Remove pecan mixture from pan; cool. Coarsely chop.
  • Combine oil, vinegar, mustard, and garlic in a bowl, stirring with a whisk. Divide arugula between 2 plates. Top evenly with chicken, pecan mixture, and raspberries. Drizzle balsamic mixture over top.
