Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, dip into the egg, and then coat with breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine arugula, thinly sliced pear, shaved fennel, and lemon juice. Toss gently.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Place the fried chicken on plates, top with the arugula salad, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
