Ingredients

1 pound thin cut boneless chicken breasts
1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
2 whole eggs beaten
¼ cup olive oil or avocado oil
6 ounces mixed greens arugula and spinach

For the Dressing

⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon zest of lemon
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
½ teaspoon dry thyme
2 cloves garlic minced
½ teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions

For the Chicken

Set up a breading station by placing flour that has been seasoned with salt and pepper in a shallow bowl, beaten eggs in another and breadcrumbs in a third.
Dip the chicken pieces in flour, then egg and lastly the breadcrumbs. Once all the chicken is coated, set aside and prepare dressing.
Heat olive oil over medium/high heat. Add breaded chicken and cook 4-5 minutes, until browned. Flip over and cook until the other side is browned and chicken is cooked through. Be careful not to overcrowd pan and cook in batches if necessary.

For the Dressing

Whisk together all ingredients

Assembly

Arrange greens on a serving plate and lightly drizzle with dressing. Place chicken cutlet on top of greens. Drizzle dressing over chicken. Alternatively, you can serve the dressing on the side. Serve immediately.

Notes

NUTRITIONAL NOTE: The nutrition facts have auto-calculated using the entire recipe of breadcrumbs, flour and dressing. Please note that there will most likely be leftover dressing, flour, egg and breadcrumb bringing down the actual caloric content. If you prefer to figure out your EXACT nutrition amount, I would suggest measuring whatever leftover ingredients you have and subtracting that.
