Parmesan Crusted Chicken Salad

Joe's Review: "That was the best... salad... ever... Best salad ever."

I'm lucky enough to have an entire Saturday to myself, today. What I like to call, "A nice little Saturday," if you will. Amidst my nice little Saturday of crossing things off  "the list," I took a breather to grab some miscellaneous things from the grocery store and get creative in the kitchen. The salad was perfect! Crunchy, flavorful, hearty, and so tasty!




Ingredients:
  • 1/2 c chopped Romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 c chopped spinach
  • 1/2 c cole slaw mix (finely chopped carrots and cabbage)
  • 1/4 c chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tomato cut into thin wedges
  • 1 lg chicken breast sliced into two thin pieces
  • 1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 c panko bread crumbs
  • 1 egg

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Spead a small amount of cooking oil onto a baking dish.


2. Mix panko bread crumbs and parmesan in a flat dish. Beat the egg in a separate dish. Dredge the washed chicken in egg then the crumb/cheese mixture.









3. Lay the pieces on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Flip them half way through.



4. While your chicken is cooking, throw all of the veggies in together.


5. If you have a broiler, pop the chicken in there for 2 minutes on each side to get extra crispy. Then slice the chicken and layer it over the greens. Top with your favorite dressing :) We had balsamic vinaigrette- it was SO tasty!!
