Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Canola oil, for frying
2 organic boneless, skinless chicken breasts (each about 8 ounces)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons white sesame seeds
1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 small lemon, zested and juiced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 fennel bulb with fronds
1 Granny Smith apple
1/2 cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
1/4 cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Fill a 14-inch cast-iron skillet with enough canola oil to come halfway up the side. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 to 375 degrees F (or a few panko breadcrumbs bubble up when sprinkled into the skillet).
  • Meanwhile, place 1 chicken breast in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Using a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat tenderizer, evenly pound the breast until about 1/4 inch thick. Remove to a plate and repeat with the 2nd breast. Reserve the resealable plastic bag.
  • Add the flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the same bag and shake to combine. Add 1 breast at a time and shake to coat.
  • Beat the eggs in a medium shallow bowl. In another medium shallow bowl, combine the panko with both sesame seeds, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, the garlic powder and cayenne. Stir to combine.
  • Dip each floured breast in the egg, coating both sides and then dredge in the panko, pressing to help the crumbs adhere. Return the breaded chicken to the plate.
  • Carefully lower the chicken in the hot oil and cook until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you make the salad.
  • For the salad: Combine the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, vinegar, Dijon, honey and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk together.
  • Halve the fennel lengthwise, cut out and discard the core, then thinly slice the fennel crosswise into half-moons and tear the fronds into pieces. Add both to the bowl.
  • Halve, core and thinly slice the apple. Add to the bowl along with the walnuts and parsley. Toss and taste for seasoning.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven, place on a platter then mound the salad on top. Serve right away.

SPICY GRILLED CHICKEN

Meet the Cook: Very near the top of the list of foods I prepare for company is this chicken. It's easy to fix and has never flopped. It is a family favorite, too - any leftovers are great in a salad or sandwich. My husband and I are the parents of eight, who range in age from 24 to 11. We also have three grandchildren. -Edith Maki, Hancock, Michigan
