Chicken Parmesan Salad - 30 Minute Dinner

                       

Ingredients:

-1 Large egg

-1 Cup panko bread crumbs

-Salt and Pepper

-4 (4 ounce) chicken cutlets, 1/2 inch thick, trimmed

-6 tablespoons vegetable oil

-1/4 cup pesto

-1 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus one tablespoon juice

-12 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved

-5 ounces (5 cups) baby argula

-4 ounces bocconcini, halved (1 cup)

Directions:

1. Beat egg in shallow dish.  Combine panko, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in second shallow dish.  Pat cutlets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.  Working with 1 cutlet at a time, dip cutlets in egg, then dredge in panko mixture, pressing to adhere.  Heat 3 tablespoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.  Cook 2 cutlets until golden brown and crisby, about 2 minutes per side.  Transfer to paper towel-lined plate.  Repeat with remaining 3 tablespoons oil and remaining 2 cutlets.  Tent loosley with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes.

2.  Whisk pesto and lemon zest and juice together in a large bowl.  Add tomatoes, argula, and bocconcini and toss to combine.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Arrange salad on serving platter. Slice cutlets crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips and place over salad.  Serve. 

TEST KITCHEN NOTE: If you can't find bocconcini, cut a larger ball of fresh mozzarella into 1/2-inch pieces.
