Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush it lightly with oil.
- In a medium bowl, mix the finely grated Parmesan with bread crumbs, rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper for the coating.
- Beat the egg in another bowl until smooth.
- Pat the chicken dry, then cut each breast horizontally to form thin cutlets and dust both sides with flour.
- Dip each cutlet in the egg, letting excess drip off, then press into the crumb mixture to coat evenly; place on the prepared sheet.
- Bake, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden and the chicken is cooked through, about 15–18 minutes.
- While the chicken bakes, wash and dry the produce. Juice the remaining lemon into a bowl; whisk in olive oil, Dijon, maple syrup, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Slice cucumber and carrot into half-moons and add them to the dressing; then add olives, arugula, and pine nuts and toss the salad.
- Just before serving, squeeze lemon over the chicken and plate with a portion of salad on the side.
Two tips
- Prep the crumb coating in advance: grate the Parmesan and mix with bread crumbs, rosemary, salt, and pepper, then refrigerate for up to a day.
- Serve leftovers cold or at room temperature with extra lemon wedges on the side, or add more arugula or olives to the salad for a brighter bite.
