Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon (use whole lemon for 4 servings). Cut any remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Cut or tear ciabatta into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
Make croutons
2
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • While the pan heats, to a medium bowl, add ciabatta, half the garlic salt and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with pepper, then toss to coat.
  • When the pan is hot, add ciabatta to the dry pan. Cook for 3-4 min , stirring occasionally, until golden on all sides.
  • Transfer croutons to a plate to cool.
Prep chicken
3
  • To a shallow dish, add breadcrumbs.
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
  • To the same medium bowl (from step 2) add chicken, mayo, lemon zest and remaining garlic salt. Season with pepper, then toss to coat.
  • Working with one chicken thigh at a time, press both sides into breadcrumbs to coat completely.
Cook chicken
4
  • Reheat the same pan (from step 2) over medium-high.
  • When the pan is hot, add 2 tbsp oil, then chicken. Pan-fry on one side for 2-3 min, until golden. Flip chicken and add 1 tbsp oil. Pan-fry for 2-3 min, until golden. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches for 4 servings, using 3 tbsp oil per batch.)
  • Transfer chicken to a foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle Parmesan over chicken.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven for 4-5 min, until cheese is golden and chicken is cooked through.**
Make salad
5
  • Meanwhile, to a large bowl, add lemon juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
  • Add tomatoes, croutons and spring mix, then toss to combine.
Finish and serve
6
  • Thinly slice chicken.
  • Divide chicken and salad between plates.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if you like.

If you've opted to get chicken thighs, cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook chicken breasts, omitting step to cutlet.
