Cornmeal-Crusted Chicken Cutlets with Courgette Ribbon Salad

Ingredients for Cornmeal-Crusted Chicken Cutlets with Courgette Ribbon Salad

• 2 medium or 3 small courgette (about 675g)

• 230g cornmeal

• 4 teaspoons garlic powder

• 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika

• 1 1/2 teaspoons plus 1/8 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

• 2 stora ägg

• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, divided

• 4 (170g) chicken cutlets, pounded 1/4" thick

• 120ml vegetable oil

• 60 ml extra jungfruolja

• 2 matskedar färsk citronsaft

• 1/2 teskedar krossade röda chiliflakes

• 1 cup mint leaves

• 1/2 cup roasted, salted cashews

• 140g ricotta salata, shaved with a vegetable peeler

Trim tops off courgette. Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, thinly slice lengthwise into wide ribbons; set aside.

Whisk cornmeal, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and 1 teaspoon salt in a wide shallow bowl. Whisk eggs, 1 tablespoon mustard, and 2 tablespoons water in another wide shallow bowl.

Season cutlets on both sides with 1/2 teaspoons salt. Dip each in egg mixture, letting excess drip back into bowl, then in cornmeal mixture, shaking off excess.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in 2 batches and adding more oil if needed, cook cutlets, shaking pan occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate.

Meanwhile, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon mustard and 1/8 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Add reserved courgette ribbons and toss gently with your hands until ribbons are evenly coated with dressing. Add mint, cashews, and ricotta salata and toss just to combine.

Transfer cutlets to a platter. Serve with courgette salad alongside.
