Preparation
- Step 1
Mix the cantaloupe, oil and lemon juice in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and chili. It should be a little spicy.
- Step 2
Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally and place between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a heavy meat pounder, evenly flatten each piece to ¼-inch thick. Brush the chicken with oil, season with salt and set aside for at least 5 minutes.
- Step 3
Place a large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken pieces in batches to avoid crowding and cook for 1½ minutes. Turn and cook for 30 seconds. (This side may not seem cooked through, but it will continue to cook as it sits.) Lay the finished pieces side by side on a baking sheet to cool slightly. Transfer to a serving plate and pour the cooking juices over the chicken. Serve topped with arugula, cantaloupe and cantaloupe juices (or with squashed tomatoes and their juices).
