Directions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Wash and dry the fresh produce. Roughly chop the lettuce. Halve the tomatoes. Pit and roughly chop the olives. Roughly chop the peppers.

  2. Pound & bread the chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Place between two sheets of plastic wrap on a sturdy work surface. Using the bottom of a heavy pan (or a meat mallet), pound the chicken to a ¼-inch thickness. Remove the plastic wrap. Season with salt (optional) and pepper on both sides. Place the flour and breadcrumbs on two separate large plates; season each with salt (optional) and pepper. Crack the egg into a large bowl; add 2 tablespoons of water and beat until smooth. Working one piece at a time, thoroughly coat the seasoned chicken in the seasoned flour (tapping off any excess), then in the beaten egg (letting the excess drip off), then in the seasoned breadcrumbs (pressing to adhere). Transfer to a separate plate.

  3. Cook the chicken: In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium until hot. Working in batches if necessary, add the breaded chicken in an even layer. Cook 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.* Transfer to a separate, paper towel-lined plate; immediately season with salt.
    *An instant-read thermometer should register 165°F.

    Lots of work to make but well worth it. My family loved this, the salad dressing was what made the salad so flavorful. The Chicken Milanese was perfectly crisp but I think something else for a side dish could have been added just not sure what however I did get really full from eating the chicken and salad together. I will save this in my favorites
