This is a quick dinner salad. I prefer mine with a honey mustard dressing and my husband likes his with ranch dressing. Use the dressing of your choice.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs (such as Progresso®)

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

  • ¼ teaspoon Cajun seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®)

  • 1 cup olive oil

  • 3 cups chopped lettuce

  • 1 tomato, cut into wedges

  • 2 carrots, grated

  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, halved

  • 6 tablespoons ranch dressing

Directions

  1. Beat egg in a shallow dish.

  2. Mix bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in a shallow dish.

  3. Season chicken with Cajun seasoning. Dip chicken into beaten egg and dredge in bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly to coat evenly.

  4. Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook breaded chicken in the hot oil until golden brown, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain chicken on paper towels. Slice into strips.

  5. Divide lettuce, tomato, carrots, and hard-boiled eggs between 2 large pasta bowls. Top with sliced chicken; drizzle salad dressing on top.
