Ingredients

Lemon Parmesan Chicken Strips

  • 2 chicken breasts sliced into 5-6 pieces each
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • ½ cup panko seasoned bread crumbs
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • zest from 1 lemon
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Kale Caesar Salad

  • 4-6 cups kale leaves
  • ½ cup croutons
  • Caesar salad dressing to taste
  • Parmesan cheese

To Serve

  • French bread

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place the flour in a shallow bowl, the eggs in a separate shallow bowl. In a third bowl, stir together the panko, Parmesan, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
  • Slice the chicken into 5-6 strips each (you can cut the longer ones in half).
  • Working in batches of 3 or so strips at a time, dredge first in flour, shaking excess off, then egg, and finally roll in the Parmesan/panko mixture to coat.
  • Place on the baking sheet and repeat until all chicken strips are coated.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until chicken is cooked through (it won't be very golden, so the best bet is to cut one open).
  • While the chicken is cooking, tear the kale into bite-sized pieces, wash and spin dry. Toss with dressing to coat and croutons.
  • Serve with fresh Parmesan and french bread.
