Method

Preparing the Fried Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Cut chicken breasts into strips and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Dip each chicken strip first in flour, then in egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry Chicken

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

Assembling the Salad

    Prepare Vegetables

    Wash and chop mixed greens, cucumber, red onion, tomato, and green pepper into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 5

    Make Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  3. 6

    Combine Salad

    In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens and chopped vegetables. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Top the salad with the fried chicken tenders and serve immediately.
