Crispy Chicken and Apple Salad - Everyday Food with Sarah Carey

This crispy chicken and apple salad is hearty, seasonal, and irresistibly delicious -- and it's exactly what you should make for dinner tonight! The recipe is simple; just coat boneless, skinless chicken breasts in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs (a.k.a., standard breading procedure), before quickly pan-frying them. While the chicken is cooking, make a perfect-for-fall salad of apples, red leaf lettuce, and cranberries. Toss everything with a tangy buttermilk dressing, and you're ready to eat. Enjoy!

Sarah's Tip of the Day:
While we love using Gala and Fuji apples in this recipe for their sweet and sharp flavors (as well as their satisfying crunch), Honeycrisp and Pink Lady varieties would work well too.

INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 large egg
1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 large head red leaf lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces (8 cups)
2 apples, such as Gala or Fuji, cored and cut into thin wedges
1/2 cup dried cranberries

DIRECTIONS
STEP 1
On a plate, season flour with 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a shallow dish, whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water. On another plate, season panko with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pat chicken dry. Dredge chicken in flour, then dip in egg, letting excess drip off. Coat with panko, pressing gently to adhere.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Add chicken; cook until golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total, flipping once. In a small bowl, whisk buttermilk, mayonnaise, vinegar, and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Arrange lettuce, apples, and cranberries on a platter. Slice chicken, add to platter, and drizzle with dressing.
