Step 1

Place the Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (2) into a gallon-size Ziploc bag. Using a meat mallet, a rolling pin, or a wine bottle, pound the chicken breasts through the plastic until they are 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

In a small measuring cup, whisk together the Lemon (1) , Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (45 mL) , Kosher Salt (to taste) , and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste) . Pour marinade into the bag with the chicken, seal, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the Baby Arugula (50 g) , Radicchio (1/2) , Walnut (1/2) , and Red Seedless Grapes (105 g) .

Step 4

In a small measuring cup, whisk together the Sherry Vinegar (15 mL) , Dijon Mustard (5 g) , Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (30 mL) 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the bag, pat dry with paper towels, and grill for 3-5 minutes on each side, until there are dark grill marks on each side and the breasts are just cooked through.

Step 6

Add the vinaigrette to the salad and toss to combine. Add the Blue Cheese (90 g) and toss gently. To serve, place each chicken breast on a plate and top with a mound of salad. Serve immediately.
