Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 4 slices Sliced ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Prepare a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, dip into the eggs, and coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate.
Once the chicken has cooled slightly, slice each breast into thin strips.
On a serving platter or large bowl, arrange the romaine lettuce as the base.
Top the lettuce with sliced chicken, diced ham, torn Swiss cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, white wine vinegar, and olive oil until smooth.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Cordon Bleu Salad!
