Instructions

Step 1

Mince garlic. Sprinkle 1 tsp salt over garlic and using a large knife, carefully scare over mixture at a 45" angle, pressing down. Repeat until garlic breaks down and a paste forms.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together garlic paste, Dijon mustard, honey, balsamic vinegar, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Stir in grated pecorino. Set aside.

Step 3

Season chicken on both sides with spice mix, salt & pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. When oil is shimmering, add chicken and cook until golden on outside and no longer pink inside, about 12 minutes total, flipping halfway. Remove from pan and set aside.

Step 4

Add tomato, basil, arugula and bocconcini mozzarella to dressing in bowl and toss to coat.

Step 5

Divide salad evenly between 2 plates. Serve alongside chicken.
