CHICKEN BREASTS WITH SALAD TOPPING

Steps:

• Select a glass, ceramic or stainless steel dish that will hold the chicken breasts in a single layer. Combine the garlic with the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the rosemary. Pour this mixture over the chicken, turning the chicken to coat all sides, cover and allow to marinate 2 to 3 hours in the refrigerator. Turn the chicken once while it is marinating.
• Preheat grill or broiler and preheat oven to 150 degrees. Broil or grill the chicken with high heat, turning once, until the chicken is attractively seared on the outside and still pink, but not raw, in the middle, 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
• Place the seared chicken breasts in the warm oven, cover with foil and allow to continue warming at least 20 minutes and up to 1 1/2 hours.
• Mix the tomatoes, basil, capers, vinegar and remaining oil together and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• When you are ready to serve the chicken, remove it from the oven and arrange on a platter. Top each breast with some of the tomato mixture and serve.

SAUTEED HERBED CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet. Add the mushroom pieces and saute for about 1 minute. Add the corn and saute for another 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper and set aside.
• Rub the chicken on both sides with the herbes de Provence and the remaining teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of oil on top.
• Heat 1 large or 2 smaller heavy cast iron or thick aluminum skillets. When very hot, add the chicken and saute over high heat for about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and set aside in the pan, covered, for 5 minutes. (This step is important to assure that the chicken will be tender; it will continue to cook in its own juices while you make the salad.)
• Place the dressing ingredients in a salad bowl and mix thoroughly. When ready to serve, add the lettuce and toss well. Divide among six plates and sprinkle the mushrooms and corn on top. Slice the chicken breasts and arrange them (along with any juices) around or on top of the salad. Serve immediately.

• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to moderately low and continue cooking for 3 minutes. Turn and cook the chicken until browned on the other side and just cooked through, about 6 minutes longer. Thickly slice each chicken breast crosswise, mound the cucumber salad on top and serve.
