Ingredients
crispy chicken
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- kosher salt and pepper
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 ½ cups seasoned breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 5 to 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 mini cucumbers
- 2 avocados, chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- ¾ cup fresh herbs, mint, cilantro, basil, chives, parsley
herb aioli
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
Instructions
- Thinly slice the chicken breasts lengthwise to make thin chicken cutlets. You want THIN slices - ones you can almost see through! I get 3 to 5 thin slices from one chicken breast. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Place the eggs in a shallow plate or bowl. Stir together the breadcrumbs and parmesan in another plate or bowl.
- Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. I like to heat the oil for a good 5 minutes before adding the chicken. Watch the heat the entire time - if it seems to be too hot, make sure to lower it!
- Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere.
- Add the chicken 2 to 3 pieces at a time. Cook on each side until deeply golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. This should cook the chicken the entire way through, but take the temperature to make sure it is 165 degrees F inside if you’re unsure. Remove each piece of chicken and place it on the paper towel-lined sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- In a large bowl, combine the avocado and cucumbers. Season all over with salt and pepper. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and the fresh lemon juice. Throw in the fresh mint, chives, basil and cilantro.
- Once the chicken is finished, serve it on a plate and top with a heaping scoop of the cucumber salad. Drizzle on the herb aioli or dollop it on the plate.
- Enjoy!
