top Crispy Everything Chicken Cutlets

Ingredients

Chicken:

 4 chicken cutlets

 Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

 1/4 cup milk

 2 large eggs, beaten

 1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs

 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

 3 tablespoons salted butter

 3 tablespoons olive oil

Easy Lemon Dressing:

 1/2 cup olive oil

 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

 2 teaspoons honey

 2 lemons, juiced (about 1/4 cup)

 Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Salad:

 4 cups mixed greens

 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

 2 lemons, halved or sliced, for garnish

Directions:

Step No.1

To prepare the chicken, begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Set up three bowls for the breading process: one with flour, one with a mixture of milk and eggs whisked together, and another with panko mixed with everything bagel seasoning.

Step No.2

Dredge each chicken cutlet first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the egg wash, and finally coat it thoroughly in the seasoned panko.

Step No.3

In the preheated skillet, add butter and oil. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken and cook until it turns golden and crisp, or until it registers 165 degrees F, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a rack to rest.

Step No.4

For the easy lemon dressing, combine olive oil, mustard, honey, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste in a mason jar. Shake the jar well to blend the ingredients.

Step No.5

Assemble the salad by tossing mixed greens with the prepared dressing in a bowl. Then, arrange the dressed greens on a platter. Place the cooked chicken on top and garnish with tomatoes and lemon slices.

Step No.6

Alternatively, you can arrange undressed greens on a platter, drizzle some of the dressing over them, pile the chicken on top, and garnish with tomatoes and lemon slices. Serve additional dressing on the side if desired.
