Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lb boneless chicken breast

  • 10 oz cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt

Method

  3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook in the bacon fat over medium heat, 6 minutes per side, until cooked through. Rest, then slice.

  4. Whisk the Dijon, red wine vinegar, and olive oil with a pinch of salt to make the dressing.
