Arugula Salad with Goat Cheese and Balsamic Vinaigrette + Chicken & Vegetable Kabob

Per request, a lighter dinner of salad and grilled chicken. 

Chicken is cut kabob sized.

Chicken seasoning is made with a bit of olive oil..

..some salt and black pepper..

..rosemary herb and garlic seasoning..

..lemon juice..

..and lastly, a bit of dijon mustard.

Marinate the chicken and leave in the fridge for about an hour...or however long it takes to finish everything else.

Dice up some red bell pepper.

And some zucchini.
 
And of course, some red onion.
 

Kabob everything and grill at the end.
 

Now, for the salad!

Vinaigrette is made with balsamic vinegar, salt&pepper, sugar, and dijon mustard.

Add olive oil to the mix.

Freshly cleaned baby arugula.

Added some regular green lettuce since jjeng doesn't like the taste of plain arugula.
  

Mix the salad with the vinaigrette. 
 
Cleaned cherry tomatoes..yummy!

Add sliced tomatoes to the mix.

Some fresh grated parmesan cheese.

Meanwhile, (this was done beforehand) goat cheese should be rolled into balls and left in the fridge to harden.

After about an hour in the fridge, goat cheese is breaded.

Ta-da!
 

And of course, when everything is done with the salad, fry the goat cheese balls. 
 

Slice up some avocado to top the salad. 
 

Dice up bread to toast in the oven with some olive oil.

Voila! Dinner is served.
