PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH ARUGULA SALAD
Steps:
- 1. Coat a broiler-pan rack with cooking spray. Preheat the broiler. In a shallow bowl, combine the mustard and egg white. In another shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cheese, and lemon peel. Dip the chicken into the mustard mixture, turning to coat, and then into the bread-crumb mixture, pressing to coat thoroughly with crumbs. Place the chicken on the prepared rack.
- 2. Broil 6" from the heat for 10 minutes, turning once, or until golden brown and a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 160°F and the juices run clear. If the chicken browns too quickly, turn off the broiler and bake the chicken in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 160°F and the juices run clear.
- 3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the basil, vinegar, oil, and salt. Add the watercress or arugula, tomatoes, and onion, and toss to coat well. Evenly divide the salad among 4 plates. Top each with a chicken breast.

PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH ARUGULA SALAD
This offering, originally from Food & Wine, is an easy weeknight meal. I love it for it's simplicity. Even though it is quick and easy, there is still great flavor due to the dijon, fresh thyme and parmesan. I love the lightly dressed salad which you can pile underneath each serving of chicken. If you like more dressing for your salad, by all means mix up a little extra!

Steps:

- Meanwhile, in a salad bowl, combine the remaining 1 teaspoon each of mustard and oil; then stir in the water.
