Get all the cheesy goodness of fondue without the cheesy badness of the 1970s. You won't need any polyester bell-bottoms or pet rocks for this creamy Parmesan and chive sauce, which delightfully smothers a succulent chicken breast. A pepper-y salad of arugula, crunchy apples, and almonds makes this calorie- and carb-conscious meal totally groovy. To the max, man.

Before You Cook

2 Cook the Chicken
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and chicken breasts to hot pan. Cook until browned, 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to prepared baking sheet. Roast until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 8-10 minutes. Rest cooked chicken at least 3 minutes and tent with foil. Wipe pan clean and reserve. While chicken cooks, make sauce.

3 Make the Sauce
Return pan used to sear chicken to medium-high heat. Add cream and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from burner. Stir in Parmesan until smooth. Add half the chives (reserve remaining for garnish). If sauce is too thick, add water 1 Tbsp. at a time until desired consistency is reached.
-
4 Make the Salad
Combine seasoned rice vinegar, 1 tsp. olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add apple, celery, and arugula to bowl with dressing. Toss to combine. Alternatively, serve dressing on side to control amount.
