Fried Chicken Breast Salad Recipes

FRIED CHICKEN DINNER SALAD

Steps:

• Beat egg in a shallow dish.
• Mix bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in a shallow dish.
• Season chicken with Cajun seasoning. Dip chicken into beaten egg and dredge in bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly to coat evenly.
• Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook breaded chicken in the hot oil until golden brown, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain chicken on paper towels. Slice into strips.
• Divide lettuce, tomato, carrots, and hard-boiled eggs between 2 large pasta bowls. Top with sliced chicken; drizzle salad dressing on top.

FRIED CHICKEN BREAST SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
• Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Season the flour with some seasoning salt. Lightly dredge both sides of the chicken in the seasoned flour, and then dip in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off, and then dredge in the seasoned flour again. Place the breaded chicken in the saute pan and fry until crisp and golden brown.
• In a large bowl, toss together the romaine, tomatoes, and red onions with some of the Sweet Dijon vinaigrette. Slice the fried chicken breasts and arrange on top of the salad.
• Combine the mustard and vinegar in a small bowl. Whisk the olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Season with sugar, salt, and pepper.
