CRISPY EVERYTHING CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• For the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
• Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the flour to a shallow bowl. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a second bowl. Mix the panko and everything bagel seasoning in a third bowl.
• Bread the chicken by dredging each cutlet first in the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip into the egg wash, then cover in the seasoned panko.
• Add the butter and oil to the skillet. When the butter is melted, add the chicken and cook until golden and crisp (or registering 165 degrees F), 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove to a rack to rest.
• For the easy lemon dressing: While the chicken is cooking, add the olive oil, mustard, honey, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste to a mason jar and shake to combine.
• For the salad: Pour the dressing over the mixed greens in a bowl and toss. Add the greens to a platter, pile the chicken on top and garnish with the tomatoes and lemons. (Alternatively, add the undressed greens to a platter, drizzle on some of the dressing, pile the chicken on top, garnish with the tomatoes and lemons and serve with additional dressing on the side.)

PIONEER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325*.
• Wash and dry chicken pieces.
• Slice each potato into 4 long slices.
• Saute the garlic in olive oil. Remove garlic and discard.
• Brown chicken pieces well in olive oil but don't cook through. Remove to a dish and season with salt and pepper.
• In a baking dish, alternate a piece of chicken, a slice of sweet potato, a slice of white potato and a few rings of onion. I usually stand them on edge so they are not flat in the pan.
• Decorate the top of the chicken with the lemon slices and rosemary.
• Cover with foil, tightly. Place baking pan on a sheet pan (it may boil over - I sometimes use a turkey baster to draw off the juices - save them and boil them down to make a nice sauce for the top) and bake for two hours or until the chicken is cooked through. Uncover and bake until it browns a little, 20 minutes or so. Save a wing for me!
