Step 1
Cut the 1 lb chicken breast into 1-inch strips. Set up three shallow bowls: 0.5 cup flour, 1 beaten egg, and 1 cup panko breadcrumbs.
Step 2
Dredge each chicken strip in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing to coat. Place on a plate.
Step 3
Heat 0.25 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry chicken in a single batch, turning once, until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Step 5
Top salad with crispy chicken and 0.5 cup shredded cheese. Serve immediately with your favorite dressing.
