Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 1 lb chicken strips with salt and pepper. Place 0.5 cup flour in a shallow dish and beat 1 egg in another.

  2. Step 2

    Dip each strip into the flour, then the egg, then back into the flour, pressing to coat. Shake off excess.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry the strips in a single layer until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange the 2 cups lettuce on plates, top with the hot chicken strips, and serve with 0.25 cup ranch dressing for dipping.
