  1. Cut the chicken breast across the grain into thin strips and season with salt and pepper. Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the garlic.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat and sear the chicken strips for 4 minutes, stirring now and then, until golden and cooked through.

  3. Add the garlic and cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes, until the tomatoes just start to soften.

  4. Take the pan off the heat, stir in the balsamic vinegar and fold in the rocket so it only wilts slightly.

  5. Serve straight away, topped with shavings of Parmesan if you like.
