- 1 egg
- 2 tsp oil

- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
Salad:

Combine sesame seeds and corn flake crumbs in a shallow dish with the salt. In another shallow dish beat the egg until smooth. Dip chicken in the egg, then coat both sides with crumb mixture.
Fry chicken with oil, about 6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Set aside.
For dressing, whisk together all ingredients (or put in a lidded jar and shake to combine).
To serve, toss mixed greens with dressing and sprinkle with almonds and any cheese you’d like. Cut chicken breasts into thin strips and add to salad.
