Crispy Chicken Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette 🥗 Crispy Chicken Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette 🥗🍓🫐 It’s simple but so delicious.  I love how it comes together so fast, and honestly? You could leave out the chicken and it still totally holds up as a side dish

INGREDIENTS:

CRISPY CHICKEN
1¼ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 tsp salt
¾ tsp pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp Green Goddess seasoning (I use Trader Joe’s)
½ cup flour
¾ cup avocado oil

SALAD
4–5 cups spring mix salad blend
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
3 strawberries, sliced
⅓ cup blueberries
⅓ cup candied pecans
⅓ cup goat cheese crumbles

VINAIGRETTE
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp shallot, finely minced
½ tsp mayo
½ tsp Dijon mustard
Dash of salt and pepper
3 tbsp avocado oil or EVOO

DIRECTIONS:
Slice the chicken breasts horizontally into thirds if you’re using 2 large ones. If using 3 smaller breasts, slice them in half horizontally. Using a mallet, pound each cutlet until it’s thin and evenly flat.

Massage the seasonings into the chicken, then coat each piece in flour.

Add oil to a heavy-bottomed skillet. Once the oil reaches 350°F, add a single layer of chicken. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F. Set aside and let the chicken rest.

In a salad bowl or on a platter, layer the spring mix, red onion, strawberries, blueberries, candied pecans, and goat cheese. Slice the chicken and arrange it on top.

To make the vinaigrette, add the red wine vinegar, minced shallot, mayo, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to a small bowl. Whisk together, then slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking until fully emulsified.

Drizzle over salad or serve dressing on the side!
