Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup corn flakes
2 tablespoons pistachios, toasted
1 teaspoon lemon rind, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 oz. each)
1 tablespoon honey
cooking spray
6 cups gourmet salad greens
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine cornflakes, pistachios, rind, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in a food processor; pulse until coarsely ground. Place crumb mixture in a shallow dish.
  • Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap. Flatten to 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Brush the chicken breasts with honey. Dredge the chicken in crumb mixture.

  • Place salad greens in a large bowl. Combine 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoons pepper, juice and oil, drizzle over salad greens, tossing gently to coat.
  • Divide the salad green and chicken evenly among 4 plates. Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired.
