Recipe - Cornmeal-Crusted Chicken

6 Boneless, skinless chicken
breast halves (2 lb)
1 One fourth pound Roma tomatoes, cored/chopped
1 cup Finely slivered arugula
3 tablespoon Capers
2 tablespoon Lemon juice
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 lg Egg
Three fourths cup Yellow cornmeal
One fourth cup Grated parmesean cheese
One half teaspoon Black pepepr
One fourth teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Salt

Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place 1 chicken breast half between 2 sheets
of waxed paper or plastic wrap on a sturdy cutting board. With a heavy
mallet, pound chicken until it is 1/3 to One fourth inch thick. Repeat with
remaining chicken. (If making ahead, cover and chill up to 4 hours.)

Combine chopped tomatoes, arugula, capers, lemon juice, and olive oil; set
aside at room temperature.

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water to blend. In
another bowl, stir the cornmeal, parmesean cheese, black pepper, and
cayenne to blend. Dip each chicken breast half in the egg mixture,
turning to coat evenly, then in the cornmealparmesean mixture, turning to
cover completely.

Place the chicken on a welloiled barbecue grill (medium heat) (If using
gas grill, close lid). Cook chicken until undersides are browned, about 5
minutes. With a spatula, turn the chicken over and cook until browned and
meat is no longer pink in center (cut to test), 5 to 6 minutes longer.

Arrange chicken on a serving platter or individual plates; top with tomato
mixture and salt to taste.
