Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Slice the chicken and serve with the salad and fries. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
