Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 6 (4-oz.) chicken cutlets, 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 1/2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup halved seedless red grapes
  • 1/2 cup halved seedless green grapes

How to Make It

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°. Whisk together eggs and 3 Tbsp. water in a small bowl. Dip chicken in egg mixture, and dredge in breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to adhere. Place on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes or until chicken is brown and done.

Delicious salad. Made this and then had the leftovers for lunch. Whole family loved it so I made it again during the same week so we could all take it for lunch again.
