- 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Balsamic Vinaigrette: In serving bowl, with wire whisk, blend all vinaigrette ingredients; set aside.
- Prepare Vegetables and Chicken: Cut each pepper lengthwise in half; discard stems and seeds. With hand, flatten each pepper half. In bowl, toss peppers and onion wedges with 3 teaspoons oil. Rub chicken breasts with remaining 1 teaspoon oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cook chicken 12 to 15 minutes or until juices run clear when thickest part of breast is pierced with tip of knife, turning over once.

- While peppers are steaming, slice chicken breasts crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips.
- Remove peppers from foil; discard skins. Thinly slice peppers. Add peppers, chicken, onion, tomatoes, and arugula to bowl with dressing; toss gently to coat.
