Are you an avid salad eater? And by that, I mean do you frequently want to have salad for lunch and add it to your dinner menu too? Well, if so then we have something in common. I love salads like crazy. And I kind of get bored eating the same old salad (except for my Avocado Pine Nut Salad), so it’s nice to have a variety of recipes to choose from. This fried chicken salad is one that I like to make on a Sunday, and then have the leftovers for lunch for a couple of days. It’s a good lunch salad!
Ingredients needed:
dried breadcrumbs all purpose flour garlic powder, dried thyme, salt and pepper chicken breast low fat buttermilk olive oil romaine lettuce cherry tomatoes honey dijon salad dressing crumbled blue cheese
How to make Fried Chicken Salad:
The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post. The first step is making the fried chicken. Unlike classic fried chicken, these chicken strips will be fried lightly in a small amount of oil. They won’t be submerged in oil!
Ingredient substitution suggestions:
There are certainly a few ways to change up this fried chicken salad. Here are some ideas!
Marinate the chicken in pickle juice instead of buttermilk (trust me!) Use any kind of chopped lettuce. Honey dijon works well with fried chicken, but you can certainly choose another kind of salad dressing. Feta or goat cheese crumbles instead of blue cheese will work too. Add in chopped cucumber or chickpeas, if you’d like.
