Servings 4
Cost $20

Ingredients

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 5 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 2 tsp seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)
  • kosher salt
  • ground black pepper
  • 8 chicken tenders patted dry
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan, plus more for serving
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 romaine hearts, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 thin slices of red onion

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425 F. Place a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Whisk the panko breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the seafood seasoning, and ¾ teaspoon black pepper in a bowl.
  • Dip the patted dry chicken in the milk in a bowl, then coat with the panko mixture, pressing gently to help it stick.
  • Place the chicken on the rack and bake for approx 25 minutes or until cooked through.
  • While chicken is baking, in a large mixing bowl, whisk the parmesan, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, lemon zest, the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and ¼ tsp each of salt and pepper. If dressing looks thicker than you like, add a little more olive oil.
  • Remove fully baked chicken from oven and slice into pieces.
  • To the large mixing bowl, add the romaine, tomatoes, and red onion and toss.
  • To serve, place pieces of chicken tenders on top of the romaine salad with additional parmesan.
