Crispy Barbecue Chicken

ingredients

  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 teaspoon season salt
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup seasoned panko breadcrumbs
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil, for frying
  • 1/4 cup barbecue sauce

Salad

ingredients

  • 1 small head leafy greens, chopped
  • 1 stalk of celery, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 large radish, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1/4 cup CPK Ranch Dressing

Method

  • Step 1

    Slice the chicken breast in half horizontally and pound evenly thin with a meat tenderizer or heavy rolling pin.

  • Step 2

    Season the chicken generously with seasoning salt.

  • Step 3

    Add all purpose flour into a shallow bowl and add the egg in a second shallow bowl and whisk. Add the seasoned breadcrumbs into a third shallow bowl.

  • Step 4

    Season all three bowls generously with salt and pepper.

  • Step 5

    Dip the chicken into the flour and then transfer into the whisked egg.

  • Step 6

    Transfer the chicken into the seasoned breadcrumbs and press gently to ensure the entire surface is coated.

  • Step 7

    Add the neutral oil into a large skillet over medium heat.

  • Step 8

    Once the oil is warm, gently add the chicken and cook for about 3 minutes on the first side. Once the underside is crisp and golden brown, carefully flip the chicken and cook until the chicken is crisp on both sides and cooked through.

  • Step 9

    Transfer the chicken onto a cooling rack, season with a pinch of salt and drizzle with barbecue sauce.

  • Step 10

    Assemble the salads with leafy greens, celery, carrots, radishes and shredded cheddar cheese.

    Add the chicken to the salad and drizzle with CPK’s ranch dressing tossing to coat.

  • Step 12

    Divide salad between two bowls and serve immediately with extra CPK Ranch Dressing if desired.
