Ingredients
  

For the Chicken: 

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved and pounded thin
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Cooking spray or neutral oil for frying

For the Salad:

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create two thinner pieces. Place between plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about ½ inch. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Set Up Breading Stations: In one shallow bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken piece in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Press into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.
  • Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom. Once hot, add chicken pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, creamy truffle Caesar dressing, garlic brioche croutons, and shredded Parmesan cheese from the Fresh Express Salad Kit. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Assemble the Dish: Place a chicken cutlet on each plate and top with a generous serving of the Fresh Express Twisted Creamy Truffle Caesar Chopped Salad. Serve immediately.
