  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  2. Place the chicken in the hot pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together harissa paste and a splash of olive oil to create a smooth dressing.
  4. In a serving platter, combine arugula, sliced radishes, and parsley.
  5. Slice the rested chicken breast into strips and place on top of the salad.
  6. Drizzle the harissa dressing over the salad evenly and toss gently to combine.
  7. Garnish with lemon wedges and, if desired, sprinkle crumbled feta and sunflower seeds on top before serving.

Notes

For those looking for a bit of variation, feel free to swap out arugula for fresh spinach or mixed greens! If you want a spicy kick, increase the amount of harissa. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but for optimal freshness, it's best to keep the dressing separate until you're ready to serve. Enjoy your kitchen adventure!
