You'll want to double down on sweet and spicy roasted pecans for snacking during the week. Add fresh summer fruits such as blueberries or nectarines to the raspberries.
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the mold with cooking spray. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with pepper and salt. Transfer the chicken to the skillet; cook for 5 minutes on each side or until tender. Remove the chicken from the pan; let stand for 5 minutes. Cut across the fibers in 1/4-inch thick slices.Place the pecans in a small, dry skillet over medium-high heat; cook for 4 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Add the sugar, butter, and hot sauce; cook for 4 minutes or until just coated, stirring frequently. Remove the nut mixture from the pan; allow to cool. Coarsely chop.Combine the oil, vinegar, mustard, and garlic in a bowl, stirring with a whisk. Arrange the arugula on 2 plates. Sprinkle evenly over the chicken, pecan mixture, and raspberries. Top with the balsamic mixture.
