Chicken Strips

Method

Preparing the Chicken Strips

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken strips in batches and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large serving bowl, place the mixed salad greens as the base.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top the greens with crumbled feta cheese, toasted almonds, and craisins.

  3. 7

    Add Chicken

    Slice the fried chicken strips into smaller pieces and distribute them evenly over the salad.

  4. 8

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the raspberry vinaigrette dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
