  • 4 oz cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 oz corn kernels
  • 1 oz red cabbage chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Season 8 oz chicken breast with 1 tsp Cajun seasoning and 1/2 tsp pepper.

2

Coat the chicken with 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour, one whisked egg, and 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs.

3

Fry the chicken in 1 cup of canola oil on low heat for 5 minutes. Take out the chicken pieces and place them on parchment paper.

4

Blanch 4 oz green beans for 2 minutes, then shock them in cold water.

5

Make the dressing with 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 2 tbsp parsley. Mix well.

6

Assemble the salad with chicken, 4 oz romaine lettuce, 4 oz cherry tomatoes, 2 oz corn, 1 oz red cabbage, green beans, and 0.5 oz feta cheese.

7

Serve with the dressing and enjoy.

(*) Only part of the oil will end up in the final product, and we have calculated nutritional values based on that amount. The entire amount is needed for frying, but what actually ends up being consumed is 1 1/2 tbsp of canola oil for four servings.
