How to Make It
Step 1
Combine cornflakes, pistachios, rind, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor; pulse until coarsely ground. Place crumb mixture in a shallow dish.
Step 2
Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap. Flatten to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Brush the chicken with honey. Dredge the chicken in crumb mixture.
Step 3
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add chicken, and sauté 5 minutes on each side or until done. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch strips; set aside.
Step 4
Place salad greens in a large bowl. Combine 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, juice, and oil, and drizzle over salad greens, tossing gently to coat.
Step 5
Divide the salad greens and chicken evenly among 4 plates. Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired.

Quick, easy, and very tasty. The combination of the honey and lemon is nice, and the pistachios and cornflakes add a pleasant crunch. This is a definite keeper, and a go-to recipe for me during the warmer months when I don't want to keep the stove on for a long time or eat heavily.

Although we beat the chicken quite thinly, it still was undercooked on the inside and practically burnt on the outside. Next time I might try placing the chicken in the oven or pre-cooking the meat before pan-frying

This was a quick & yummy spring dinner, though I cheated a little to make it faster with fewer dishes to wash. I chopped the pistachios and just mixed them with breadcrumbs because we don't eat cornflakes, and I didn't want to haul out my food processor for it anyway. Next time I'll buy panko breadcrumbs, but this still worked really well. I also skipped toasting the nuts and it didn't matter because they got toasty while the chicken cooked. Served it over baby spinach.
