Pan-Fried Chicken with Baby Kale & Maple Dijon Yogurt Dressing

(3)
"What’s in the dish? The dressing is a creamy maple, Dijon. Soaking the chicken in the dressing makes the chicken tender and moist. The chicken is then breaded in a Panko breadcrumb mix and fried in a pan. The chicken is served with a baby kale salad with dried cranberries, apples, salted sunflower seeds, homemade croutons, and crumbled goat cheese!"

A Note from Feedfeed

This delicious chicken dish comes together quickly. Brining the chicken in the dressing overnight will keep it moist. Change up the greens in this salad depending on the time of year.
