30 minutes total (Active 30 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 heads bittersweet salad greens (radicchio or Belgian endive)
  • 1 cup fresh green beans
  • 1 tart green apple
  • 4 oz chunk goat cheese
  • 1 cup praline pecans, divided
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • Large zip-top bag (optional)
  • 1 lb boneless chicken cutlets
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup honey

Prep

    • Chop shallots.
    • Cut salad greens into quarters or wedges.
    • Cut green beans and apples into bite-size pieces.
    • Crumble goat cheese.

Steps

    1. Process ¾ cup praline pecans in food processor until fine crumbs. Combine praline and panko in zip-top bag (or place in shallow bowl). Coat both sides of chicken, 1 or 2 at a time, with crumb mixture; press with fingertips to evenly coat (wash hands).
    2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2-3 minutes. Place 1 tablespoon oil in pan, then add apples, green beans, and salad greens; cook 2-3 minutes or until greens are wilted and beans are softened. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and transfer to serving plates.
    3. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to pan, then add chicken; cook 4-5 minutes on each side or until 165°F. Remove chicken from pan; let stand 3-5 minutes, then slice thinly.
    4. Combine vinegar, honey, and shallots in a microwave-safe bowl and cover; microwave on HIGH 2-3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
    5. Top salad greens with sliced chicken, goat cheese, and remaining ¼ cup praline pecans. Drizzle with honey dressing; serve.
