Step 1
Slice the 1.5 lb chicken breast horizontally into 4 thin cutlets. Season both sides with salt and pepper, then brush with 1 tbsp olive oil.
Step 2
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Grill the chicken until charred and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Set aside to rest.
Step 3
While chicken rests, thinly slice the 1 red onion and 0.5 cup pickles. In a small bowl, mix 0.25 cup mayo and 2 tbsp mustard.
Step 4
Toast the 4 buns on the grill or in a skillet until golden, about 1-2 minutes. Spread the mayo-mustard mixture on both cut sides.
Step 5
Layer the bottom buns with pickles, red onion, arugula, and a chicken cutlet. Top with the other bun half and serve warm.
Step 6
Optional: add a slice of cheese or a squeeze of lemon to the arugula for extra flavor.
