01 Gather
Ingredients
Makes 2 generous servings
- 1½ lb chicken cutlets
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups crispy fried onions
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 4 cups shredded cabbage
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp hot honey
02 Make
The good part
- 01
Heat oven to 425°F, set a wire rack over a sheet pan, and oil it lightly.
- 02
Crush onions with garlic powder and paprika; dip chicken in beaten egg, then press firmly into the crumbs.
- 03
Bake 16 to 20 minutes, turning once, until crisp and the thickest part reaches 165°F.
- 04
Toss cabbage with yogurt, lemon juice, zest, salt, and pepper; serve beside chicken with a light hot honey drizzle.
03 Know before you cook
Small details, better dinner.
Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.
- Use crushed cornflakes plus dried onion for a less salty crust.
- Firm tofu slabs can replace chicken; bake until crisp and hot throughout.
Refrigerate chicken and slaw separately for up to 3 days. Crisp again chicken in a 375°F oven or air fryer; reheat poultry to 165°F.
