Dressing and marinade Preparation: In a jar, combine all the dressing ingredients, including extra virgin olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, sugar, salt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and garlic powder. Then, cover the jar with a lid and shake well. The mixture is lemon vinaigrette, which can last for a week in the refrigerator. However, always remember to shake it well before each use.
Take a plastic zipper bag and put the chicken breasts in it.Then, pour half the lemon vinaigrette into the bag with the chicken and keep it in the refrigerator for half an hour.
Salad Preparation: Take a baking tray and add the panko breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. Broil on high for 1 minute and keep checking, so it doesn't burn. Once they are completely baked, add them to a bowl or plate.
Remove the chicken from the plastic bag and grill it in a skillet until tender and brown. And it will take around 7 to 10 minutes for the chicken to cook. If you like fried chicken more, coat the chicken lightly with flour and cook in one to two tablespoons of olive oil.Then, take it out once it's crispy and brown and cut the chicken into pieces.
Wash the kale and romaine lettuce, let it dry, then add leafy veggies and parmesan cheese to a deep plate or bowl.Then, top this mixture with grilled or fried chicken pieces.
Sprinkle the baked bread crumbs in the salad bowl. And Put four lemon wedges on the edges of the plate or bowl and drizzle some more lemon vinaigrette on top. You can also sprinkle parmesan crisps, dijon mustard, and a little black paper to enhance the taste.Enjoy the salad!
