Step 1:

How do you make a fried chicken and vegetable salad? Cut the chicken breast into thin strips or small cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet and add the chicken. Sprinkle with garlic powder if you like, salt it, and fry over high heat, stirring constantly, until cooked through — usually 3–5 minutes is enough.
Step 2:

Wash the lettuce well and dry it on paper towels. Put it in a deep bowl.
Step 3:

Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes and cucumber. Halve the cherry tomatoes, or leave them whole — your call. You can also use regular tomatoes cut into small pieces. Cut the cucumbers however you like. Add everything to the lettuce.
Step 4:

Peel the onion and slice it into thin half-moons. Red onion, white onion, or shallots are ideal for salads. Add it to the rest. Now make the dressing: in a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable or olive oil and the whole-grain mustard.
Step 5:

Add the fried chicken to the salad and drizzle the dressing over the top. Squeeze on some fresh lemon juice to taste, then season with salt and pepper. Toss everything well and serve.

Mâche (also called lamb's lettuce) is a great source of minerals and vitamins — B vitamins, carotene, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, and more. Its low calorie count makes it a natural for light dishes. Eating fresh mâche regularly can help ease fatigue and improve sleep without any medication, and its nutrients have a calming, beneficial effect on the nervous system. In the kitchen it's most often used in salad mixes, where it pairs beautifully with vegetables and fresh herbs. Mâche doesn't keep long, so use it within a few days of buying or picking it. Enjoy!
Every oil is good only up to a certain temperature — its smoke point, beyond which it starts to burn and forms harmful compounds, including carcinogens. Keep an eye on your frying temperature and choose an oil that stands up to the heat.
