Steps:
- CHICKEN: Start by preparing chicken tenders according to package directions. Let cool to warm and then thinly slice.
- SALAD: Chop the romaine, wash, and make sure it is thoroughly dried before adding to a large bowl (dressing won't adhere to wet lettuce). Add halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumbers, sliced red onions, and sliced avocado to the bowl or place on individual plates. Add the sliced chicken on top. Drizzle with the dressing (see next step to prepare), toss to combine, and serve immediately.
- DRESSING: Whisk the ingredients for the dressing, along with a big pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk until smooth. If not using immediately, transfer to a mason jar and refrigerate. (Leftovers stay good for 5-7 days).
- STORAGE: Dressed salad doesn't sit well, so if you want to have leftovers or make ahead, store the dressing separately from the salad.

Lift the chicken out of the water and leave until cool enough to handle.
- Meanwhile, mix the remaining fish sauce in a large bowl with the lime juice, sugar, pepper and chopped chilli. Tip in the cabbage, carrots and onion. Mix well.
- Shred the chicken and toss it into the salad with the herbs. Mix again, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is ideal).
- To make the nuoc cham sauce, pound the garlic, chillies and caster sugar to a paste using a pestle and mortar. Mix in the fish sauce, vinegar and 6 tbsp water. (It will keep for up to 4 days in the fridge.)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix together with a fork.
- Season the chicken breasts on both sides with pepper and salt to taste.
- Add the flour and eggs to 2 separate medium bowls. Dip the chicken breasts in the flour and shake off the excess. Then, dip in the eggs. Finally, dip in the bread crumb mixture. Make sure the chicken is well-coated.
- Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until deep golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted in the thick part of a breast registers at least 165˚F (75˚C).
- While the chicken is cooking, make the dressing: In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the sour cream, buttermilk, Parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. If you prefer a thinner dressing, add a few more splashes of buttermilk.
- To assemble the salad, add the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and red onion to a large bowl. Drizzle about ½ the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
- Slice the chicken, then serve on top of the salad and drizzle with more dressing.

- Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh, flavorful chicken, crisp vegetables, and a creamy, tangy dressing.
- Cook the chicken perfectly. Chicken that is too dry or overcooked will make your salad tough and chewy. Aim for chicken that is cooked through but still moist and tender.
- Chop the vegetables into small pieces. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the salad and make it easier to eat.
- Use a creamy, tangy dressing. This will help bind the salad together and add flavor. You can use a store-bought dressing or make your own.
- Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors meld together and make the salad more refreshing.
### Conclusion Chicken salad is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways! Whether you are looking for a quick and easy lunch or a hearty and satisfying dinner, chicken salad is a great option.
