Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
    4 chicken breasts, pounded thin
    Salt
    1 large shallot, minced, about 2 Tbsp
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1/2 cup white wine or chicken stock
    1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    1 Tbsp capers, drained
    2-3 cups arugula, torn into bite-sized pieces
    1/2 fennel bulb, shaved thin
    16-24 paper thin shavings of parmesan cheese

Tips

I personally like to eat mine without the arugula! Chicken broth can be substituted for white wine.


Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a stick-free sauté pan over medium-high heat until almost smoking, about 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle salt over the pounded chicken breasts and sear them for 2-3 minutes per side. Keep chicken warm.
Add the other tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add the shallots and cook 1 minute, stirring often.
Add the garlic and cook another 45 seconds to 1 minute, stirring often.
Add the white wine and scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the capers and red pepper flakes and boil until the wine is almost gone, about 2-4 minutes.
To serve, mix the arugula and shaved fennel and put some on each plate. Arrange some shaved parmesan over them. Lay a piece of chicken on each salad, then top with a little of the sauce. Serve hot.
