Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast fillets
- 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups Baby spinach leaves
- 0.25 cups Fresh basil leaves, torn
- 0.25 cups Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoons Honey
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. Place each chicken breast fillet between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound the chicken to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, cook the crumbed chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest on a plate lined with paper towels.
While the chicken rests, prepare the tomato salad. In a large bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, baby spinach leaves, torn basil leaves, and thinly sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and honey to make a dressing. Pour the dressing over the tomato salad and toss gently to combine.
Slice the crumbed chicken into strips and serve on a plate alongside the tomato salad. Optionally, drizzle any extra dressing over the chicken.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Parmesan Crumbed Chicken Tomato Salad!
