Enough said, right? A crushed pretzel coating delivers seasoning and a beautiful golden-brown crust to seared chicken breast. Lay your crispy cutlets over a vibrant green salad tossed with juicy strawberries, creamy avocado, and zingy red onions. A store-bought honey-mustard vinaigrette saves you time and brings all the flavors together. If you'd like to tame down the oniony bite, simply soak the slices in ice-cold water for about five minutes. Ingredients 2 cups miniature pretzel twists (2 1/2 oz.) 1 large egg 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (8 oz. each) ½ teaspoon kosher salt 3 tablespoons canola oil 2 romaine lettuce hearts, trimmed and chopped (8 oz. each) 2 cups strawberries (10 oz.), quartered 1 large avocado, diced ⅓ cup sliced red onion (from 1 onion) ½ cup store-bought honey-mustard vinaigrette Directions Place pretzels in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin to crush into fine crumbs. (Or pulse in a food processor.) Transfer crumbs to a shallow dish. Beat egg in a separate shallow dish. Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 thin cutlets. Season with salt. Working with 1 cutlet at a time, dip into egg, let excess drip off, and coat in pretzels, pressing gently to adhere. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add chicken; cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook until a thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 165°F, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a towel-lined plate. Combine lettuce, strawberries, avocado, and onion in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss gently. Slice chicken and serve on top of salad.
