To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the chicken:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Olive oil for frying

For the salad:

- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a shallow dish, mix together the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat in the Parmesan mixture.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, basil, and red onion. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
To serve, place a chicken breast on each plate and top with a generous helping of the tomato and basil salad. This dish is perfect for a light and healthy dinner or lunch.
