Ingredients:

Serving

2 (6-oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tbsp minced fresh parsley
2 tsp minced fresh tarragon
1/2 tsp salt, divided
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
cooking spray
3 tbsp olive oil
4 tsp white wine vinegar
dash of freshly ground black pepper
4 cups baby arugula
4 cups gourmet salad greens
3 apricots (about 8 oz), pitted and thinly sliced
1/3 cup thinly vertically sliced red onion

Directions:

Prepare grill to medium-high heat.
Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound each piece to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Sprinkle chicken with parsley, tarragon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until done. Transfer to a plate; cool to room temperature.
Combine oil, vinegar, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and dash of pepper in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
Combine arugula, greens, apricots, and onion in a large bowl. Pour vinaigrette over arugula mixture; toss well to coat. Place about 2 cups arugula mixture on each of 4 plates. Cut chicken breast halves crosswise into thin slices; top each serving evenly with chicken. Serve immediately.
Wine note: In this salad, arugula's peppery bite is nicely balanced by fragrant herbs, sweet apricots, and grilled chicken. A great wine with a complexly flavored salad like this is pinot gris from Oregon. It has a fresh, clean feel and a creamy, fruity flavor. Two favorites: Lemelson Tikka's Run and Chehalem, both 2007 from the Willamette Valley, and both $19. —Karen MacNeil
