What you need to make Fried Feta and Rotisserie Chicken Salad for Dinner:
Equipment:
Time:
Produce:
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 1 C cherry tomatoes
- 1 sprig of fresh thyme
Dairy:
- 1 (10-12oz) brick of feta
- 1 large egg, beaten
Meat:
Pantry:
- ¼ C honey
- 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (honey dressing)
- 4-5 Tbsp olive oil (to fry the feta in)
- ½ C Panko bread crumbs
- 1 tsp fresh ground pepper
- ½ tsp salt
Start by chopping up the chicken and making the dressing so that when the feta is done you can serve it warm directly over the greens.
Place your greens and cherry tomatoes on your dinner plates along with the chopped chicken and then make your dressing. For the dressing, mix together the honey, fresh ground pepper, lemon juice, fresh thyme, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil.
In a small bowl, beat the egg until smooth. In another small bowl combine the Panko breadcrumbs, salt, and lemon zest. Slice your feta into roughly half-inch bricks and dip each brick into the egg, turn to coat, remove, and allow the excess to drop off. Dredge the feta in the Panko breadcrumbs covering all sides of the cheese.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. When the oil shimmers placed the breaded feta into the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Place the warm feta directly over the assembled salad. Drizzle with the honey dressing and enjoy this scrumptious salad!
For another salad combination with Fried feta try the honey dressing and fried feta over spinach with dried apricots, and pickled onions.
