Step 1
Pat chicken dry. Place between plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thick with a mallet or pan.
Step 2
Set up three shallow bowls: flour in first, beaten egg in second, panko mixed with salt and pepper in third.
Step 3
Coat each chicken cutlet in flour, tap off excess, dip in egg, then press into panko until fully coated.
Step 4
Cook bacon in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until crispy, ~5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel.
Step 5
Sear breaded chicken in the bacon fat, 2.5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Toss greens with vinegar, mustard, and a pinch of salt. Crumble bacon over top. Slice chicken and arrange on salad.
