For the pickle brined chicken Milanese
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 cup pickle brine
1 cup flour
2 eggs (whisked)
1.5 cups bread crumbs
1 tsp garlic powder
salt & pepper
canola oil
Kale Slaw
3 cups kale (thinly sliced, stem removed)
1 cup shredded carrot
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (any fat content)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

1
Start by cutting the chicken breasts in half, and then pounding them until very thin. I place my chicken in a plastic bag, one piece at a time to pound it. Once pounded, add to a plastic bag, and pour in pickle brine. Put in fridge and let brine for 3 hours.
2
After 3 hours, remove chicken from brine and pat dry.
3
Get the dredge stations ready. Plate/Bowl 1: Flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder. Plate/Bowl 2: 2 eggs, whisked. Plate/Bowl 3: Bread Crumbs
4
Coat the bottom of a frying pan with canola oil, so it's about 1/8 inch deep. Heat over medium heat.
5
Take each piece of chicken through the dredging station, and drop into hot oil. Fry on each side for 3 minutes. Remove and repeat as many times as necessary, based on how many pieces of chicken you have and how big the frying pan is.
6
Prepare kale and carrots and place in a large mixing bowl. (Cheat tip: the bag of organic broccoli slaw from Trader Joe's is a really good mix to add to shredded kale for this dish)
7
In a food processor or bullet, combine all other ingredients until smooth
8
Pour smooth dressing over kale and carrots and toss to combine.
9
Serve slaw over hot chicken, and enjoy!
