Directions
- Cut the chicken in half horizontally to form thin fillets, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Set up two plates: one with flour and the other with bread crumbs; season both with salt and pepper.
- Whisk the eggs in a small bowl.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Dredge each chicken fillet in flour, shake off excess, dip in the eggs, then coat in the bread crumbs, pressing to adhere; place on a plate.
- Pour a thin layer of oil into the hot skillet and swirl to coat the bottom.
- Cook the chicken 3–4 minutes per side until cooked through and golden; transfer to a paper-towel lined plate.
- In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and oregano to make the dressing; wash and dry the produce.
- Tear or chop the romaine and add to the dressing, tossing to coat.
- Dice the red bell pepper and add to the salad bowl; halve the cucumber lengthwise and thinly slice into half-moons, then add to the bowl.
- Halve the Kalamata olives lengthwise and add to the salad; toss to combine.
- Finely grate the Parmesan over the salad.
- To serve, divide the chicken and salad between plates and sprinkle with additional Parmesan if desired.
Two tips
- Make the dressing ahead and refrigerate up to 1 day for quicker assembly at dinner time.
- For a lighter finish, you can finish with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan on top at serving.
