Servings 6
Equipment
- Baking Tray
- Large skillet
Ingredients
Chicken:
- 2 tbsp olive oil more if needed
- 4 boneless skinless breasts
- ½ cup of flour
- 2 eggs beaten
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 cup of panko crumbs
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
Salad:
- 3 cups of spring mixed salad greens
- 5-7 grape tomatoes sliced in half
- 2 tbsp roasted bell pepper diced
- 2 tbsp kalamata olives sliced
- 2 tbsp feta cheese
- Fran's Vinaigrette to taste
Instructions
- Make Fran's Vinaigrette.
- Prepare the chicken by placing each chicken breast one at a time in a zip-lock bag. Pound the chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
- Cut the chicken breast in half and set aside. Repeat with the remaining pieces of chicken.
- Make the dredging station by pouring the flour into another bowl.
- Combine the eggs and milk in a separate bowl and beat with a fork until well combined.
- Combine the panko with the oregano, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; mix well.
- Dredge the chicken in flour; dip in egg; dredge in panko mixture.
- Place coated chicken on a baking tray covered in parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining pieces of chicken.
- Place the baking tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Side Note: This will help the breading stick to the chicken.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken, cooking a few pieces at a time. Cook for 3-4 minutes; turn chicken over and cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Place onto a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any remaining grease.
- Drizzle some well-whisked vinaigrette onto the greens, tomato halves, roasted bell pepper, kalamata olives, and feta cheese; toss to coat evenly.
- Serve a piece of chicken with a large spoonful of greens on each plate. Enjoy.
