Instructions
Place the chicken breasts one at a time in between to pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap and pound to a -inch thickness. You can use a meat mallet or a rolling pin. The idea is to get the chicken to an even thickness all around.
Remove from the paper and place in a glass baking dish and squeeze the juice of 1 lemon on top.
Drizzle with an equal amount of olive oil.
Sprinkle with teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
Heat the grill to medium. In the meantime, prepare the salad dressing.
Cut the garlic clove in half and rub the inside of a medium bowl with the cut side of the garlic.
Add the garlic to the bowl. To the bowl, add 3 Tablespoons lemon juice, Dijon mustard, teaspoon sea salt, and black pepper to taste.
Pour cup olive oil into the bowl, whisking constantly to emulsify. Taste for seasoning and tartness.
Add more oil if necessary.
Remove chicken from marinade and grill a few minutes on both sides until golden brown.
Place on a cutting board. Arrange the arugula on a platter and drizzle with enough of the dressing to coat lightly.
Cut the chicken into strips and arrange on top of the arugula. Scatter tomatoes on top and drizzle a little more dressing. Or arrange the chicken on a platter and top with dressed arugula leaves and tomato.
