Method

Preparation of Fried Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Breading Process

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and fry for 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let cool on a paper towel.

Salad Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is cooling, wash and chop the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion. Toss lightly to mix.

  3. 6

    Slice the Chicken

    Once the chicken has cooled, slice it into strips and place it on top of the salad.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 7

    Mix the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
