Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425F (use convection if you have it) and line a baking sheet with foil (optional but highly recommended, see Notes below)) for easier cleanup.
- Place the chicken on the baking sheet, and pound to an even thickness. I use an empty wine bottle, but a meat pounder or tenderizing tool, a rolling pin, or a heavy frying pan all work. The chicken doesn't need to be pounded 'thin', but it needs to be of pounded to a uniform thickness so it all cooks through at the same time.
- Evenly drizzle the chicken with olive oil and generously season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- To a small bowl, add the remaining ingredients, stir to combine, and evenly spoon the dry rub over the chicken on both sides. I add a bit more to the side that's facing up than the side that's on the bottom in contact with the baking sheet.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (165F) and done.
- Allow chicken to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into it (cover with foil if desired to keep it warmer). Resting the chicken really helps lock in the juices and moisture so don't skip this step.
- While chicken bakes, to a large platter or bowl, add the lettuce, and chop the vegetables and add them to the bowl, and optionally add the croutons.
- When chicken is done resting, slice it and add it to the bowl. Make sure to get any run off juices from the sheet pan into the salad bowl because there is a ton of flavor in the juices.
- To a small jar or container with a lid (a canning jar works great), add all ingredients, put the lid on and shake vigorously until combined; taste vinaigrette and tweak as necessary to taste. If it is at all flat, it likely needs more salt. Alternatively, use your favorite store bought vinaigrette or dressing.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad as desired (you may not need all of it), toss to combine, and serve immediately.

AMAZING CRUSTED CHICKEN
This is my husband's favorite meal for me to cook. The chicken is so moist and flavorful. The more seasonings you use the better it tastes. Mayo may cause some areas to be a little mushy but it still tastes amazing!

CRISPY-SKIN CHICKEN BREASTS WITH WARM MUSHROOM SALAD
This easy, succulent chicken dish is perfect for cozy evenings. The secret to keeping the chicken juicy is leaving on the skin, which helps prevent the meat from drying out during cooking. The accompanying mushrooms are sauteed until tender and juicy, then tossed in a Dijon-thyme vinaigrette for extra lusciousness. The addition of baby spinach and arugula makes this a complete meal.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Season the chicken all over with salt, pepper, smoked paprika and the lemon zest.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet skin-side down. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the skin is browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken skin-side up to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of one breast registers 155 degrees F, about 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. (The internal temperature will rise to about 165 degrees F during resting.)
- Meanwhile, in the same skillet, melt the butter with the rendered chicken fat over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl and tent with foil.
- In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, shallot, mustard, thyme and honey together. Gradually whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil; season the dressing with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the mushrooms to a serving bowl. Add half the dressing and mix well. Add the spinach and arugula and the remaining dressing and toss to coat. Transfer the salad and chicken to a platter. Serve with the lemon wedges.
