Instructions
1. Prepare the Potato Salad:
1. In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the baby potatoes until fork-tender (about 12–15 minutes). Drain and let cool slightly.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.
3. Add the cooled potatoes, green onions, and half of the chopped chives. Toss until evenly coated. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken Cutlets:
1. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes:
Dish 1: Flour mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Dish 2: Beaten eggs.
Dish 3: Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs mixed together.
2. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, dip in the eggs, and coat with the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken cutlets for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature: 165°F/74°C).
3. Assemble and Serve:
1. Plate the Parmesan-crusted chicken cutlets.
2. Serve with a generous scoop of potato salad on the side.
3. Garnish with remaining chives for a fresh finish.
