Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread 2 cups french fries on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, about 20 minutes, shaking halfway.
Step 2
While fries bake, slice 1 red bell pepper into thin strips. In a bowl, toss with 2 cups arugula and 1 tbsp olive oil. Set aside.
Step 3
Coat 2 chicken breasts with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, then press both sides into 0.5 cup sesame seeds until well covered.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken until golden and cooked through (no pink inside), about 5-6 minutes per side.
Step 5
Slice the chicken and serve with the salad and fries. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
