Super-easy to make and packed with flavor. Look for panko in the Asian foods section of the supermarket.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
Step 1
Using meat mallet or rolling pin, flatten chicken between sheets of plastic wrap to thickness of 1/2 inch. Whisk eggs in medium bowl to blend. Mix panko, 2 tablespoons parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper on plate. Dip chicken in beaten eggs; turn to coat. Dredge in breadcrumb mixture, coating completely.
Step 2
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plates; sprinkle with lemon juice. Toss arugula with remaining 1 tablespoon oil in medium bowl to coat; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mound salad atop chicken.

Back to TopSo - while I am not a fan of multiple prep bowls for a weeknight meal I was ok with this bc the bowls used for the egg and the panko are easy to fit in dishwasher - not large baking and mixing bowls. The salad was phoned in for this recipe so recommend going to something more fund. I did a kale salw w. vinegar marinated onions and chopped tomatoes. Just search up a different panzanella salad or cabbage like slaw and you will be ok. Need a sharp dressing.

So yummy! Using what I had on hand, I used regular breadcrumbs, dried parsley and oregano, and lemon pepper instead of plain. I added some parm to the breadcrumbs as well. It was superb! I'm sure had I used fresh herbs and panko it would have been even better. I can't wait to make it again!

Very nice! Flavorful chicken, great for a summer meal. I threw in a couple tablespoons of shredded parmigiano reggiano cheese to the panko crumbs. Will make again.

A friend gave me a bunch of arugula from her winter garden, and I decided to try this. Delish! It will go in my regular rotation. Served with the spicy spinach linguine (although I couldn't find spinach & bought whole grain linguine) from this web site, and originally recommended with the chicken. A really satisfying meal! (The web site is a little wonky, and won't let me give a forks rating. I say 4 forks!)

Have made this recipe at least a dozen times over the past few years. It's easy, delicious, and pleases children and adults alike. (Admittedly, the children will not touch the arugula. Fine, more for me!) I serve this often with brown butter pasta or garlic bread.

A lovely and easy weeknight meal. I sometimes make a different vinaigrette (search Epicurious for the Sprightly Lemon Vinaigrette recipe) instead of just using the lemon juice, and add freshly grated parmesan over the chicken and arugula before serving.

不确定我的鸡是厚或缺陷件, but it was undercooked and required additional heating. To avoid burning, I heated in the oven. Flavor was good. Added parmesan and lemon zest to panko mix.

Any health nut will fall in love with this dish! From Brunch, to Lunch, to Cinner you can't go wrong. The components complement one another in a symphony of flavor. For a twist you can add diced mango, or mandarine oranges in place of the cherry tomatoes.

Great easy weeknight dinner. Sometimes to mix it up I add some sliced fresh pair and shaved parmesan.

This is a good recipe. I don`t know if I would make it for company, but for a weeknight family dinner it's great. I used thyme and rosemary out of the garden instead of oregano and parsley; I think several different fresh herbs would work here, and as suggested, added lemon zest and a bit of parmesan to the breadcrumb mixture. I will be making this again.

Added parm to panko as suggested for flavor. Nothing special, but simple dish that should be served with something very flavorful such as "Spicy Spinach Linguine"

I made this for dinner for my grown sons and my husband and they loved it. No arugula at my grocery so I made a tomato salad of halved cherry tomatoes with some fresh basil, olive oil and garlic and it went really well. Definitely will make it again.

Wish I could give this 3.5 forks-- it was very good. I really liked the fresh herbs with the panko. I made the lemon dressing, also made homemade balsamic-- either were delicious on the salad over chicken. Will definitely make again.

I've made this countless times for guests and it always turns out great! The only change I make is that I don't cook the chicken all the way in the skillet. I finish it in a baking pan at 350 for 20 minutes or so. I also buy the hand fileted chicken breasts.
