advice

• Place all ingredients for Thousand Island Salad Dressing in a bowl and mix well. Place the salad dressing in the refrigerator for later use.

• Prepare the chicken. Place the chicken breasts on a lined cutting board and cover with baking paper. Use a meat tenderizer to pound the chicken until the entire chicken is about 3 – 1 inches thick. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

• Crack the eggs into a large bowl and beat them well.

• In a separate bowl, add the cornflakes, flour, garlic powder, paprika, pepper, and kosher salt. Use your hands to crush the corn flakes and mix all the ingredients*.

• Dredge the chicken breasts through the egg wash, allowing any excess egg to drip from the breasts. Then, dredge the chicken through the cornflake mixture. Flip the chicken into the cornflake mixture. Then use your hands to firmly press the coating onto the chicken breasts. Repeat until all chicken breasts are coated.

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium/high heat. When the oil is hot Put the chicken breasts in the pan. Cover the pan halfway so the oil doesn’t splash. Don’t overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook the chicken in batches. Cook each chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown or the chicken’s internal temperature is 165°F.

• Remove chicken from pan and immediately season chicken with salt flakes. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then cut the chicken into pieces.

• Add all the ingredients for the salad to a large salad bowl and toss. Garnish the salad with chicken pieces. And decorate the salad with Thousand Island dressing. (quantity as desired)
