1/4 cup milk

2 large eggs, beaten

1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs

3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

3 tablespoons salted butter

3 tablespoons olive oil
Easy Lemon Dressing:

1/2 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons honey

2 lemons, juiced (about 1/4 cup)

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salad:

4 cups mixed greens

1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

2 lemons, halved or sliced, for garnish

Directions
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.)
