Cornmeal is a naturally gluten-free way to get deliciously crispy pan-fried chicken cutlets. For a super summery dinner, serve them with a shaved zucchini salad studded with mint, cashews, and ricotta salata.

Steps:
- Trim tops off zucchini. Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, thinly slice lengthwise into wide ribbons; set aside.
- Whisk cornmeal, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and 1 tsp. salt in a wide shallow bowl. Whisk eggs, 1 Tbsp. mustard, and 2 Tbsp. water in another wide shallow bowl.
- Season cutlets on both sides with 1/2 tsp. salt. Dip each in egg mixture, letting excess drip back into bowl, then in cornmeal mixture, shaking off excess.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in 2 batches and adding more oil if needed, cook cutlets, shaking pan occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate.
- Meanwhile, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper, and remaining 1 tsp. mustard and 1/8 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Add reserved zucchini ribbons and toss gently with your hands until ribbons are evenly coated with dressing. Add mint, cashews, and ricotta salata and toss just to combine.
- Transfer cutlets to a platter. Serve with zucchini salad alongside.

[email protected]The chicken was a bit dry, but the zucchini salad was delicious! The lemon-tahini dressing was the perfect complement to the grilled zucchini. I would definitely make this recipe again, but I would cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.
