Equipment

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • saute pan
  • tongs

Ingredients
  

Chicken and Breading

  • 12 oz chicken breasts (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 each large egg
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Salad

  • 4 cups spring mix
  • 1 each roma tomato (sliced)
  • 1/2 each cucumber (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup red onions (sliced
  • 4 tbsp choice of salad dressing

Instructions
 

  • If you can't find thinly sliced chicken breast, filet your chicken breast and slice it in half sideways. If you want it even flatter and thinner, lay it in between two layers of plastic wrap and use a meat pounder or a small frying pan to pound it out flat. This will help the chicken cook faster.
  • Whisk the egg in a large bowl. Place the flour in another bowl. Then, place the panko breadcrumbs and seasonings in another bowl
  • First dip the chicken in the flour making sure it is fully coated. Then shake off the excess
  • Next, dip the chicken in the egg wash. Then, drip it into the seasoned panko breadcrumbs. Make sure it is fully coated
  • Heat a skillet with olive oil on medium high heat. Then, pan fry the chicken breast on each side until golden brown and fully cooked (about 3 to 5 minutes on each side-check for an internal temperature of 165F).
  • Serve the chicken with a side salad.
