👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let it marinate for 20 minutes.
2. Coat each chicken fillet in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, then cover evenly with breadcrumbs.
3. Heat the oil over medium heat and fry the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown, crispy, and fully cooked. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4. Fry the potato strips until golden and crispy. Season with salt and paprika while still hot.
5. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber.
6. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then drizzle over the salad and toss gently.
7. Serve the crispy chicken with French fries, the fresh avocado salad, and ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
