Ingredients

Pickled Red Onions:

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat.
  2. Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet to 1/4 inch even thickness. Drizzle both sizes with the canola oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Whisk together the champagne vinegar, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in the blended oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified.
  4. Grill the chicken breasts until there are prominent grill marks, 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Once the chicken is cooked, baste it with some of the champagne vinaigrette, then remove from the heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Combine the arugula, frisée, radicchio, tarragon and chives in a large bowl. Toss it with the vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Reserve some vinaigrette for drizzling later.
  6. To serve, place the chicken paillard onto the bottom of a serving plate, then top with the mixed greens. Garnish with some Pickled Red Onions and another drizzle of vinaigrette around the plate.
