To make your chicken. In three bowls add each one: with flour, one with beaten egg, and the final with panko breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, salt, and black pepper.

One by one coat the chicken in flour, then egg, then panko.
Heat up cooking oil (about 2-3 inches) in a skillet over high heat (or use a deep fryer). Once oil is hot and sizzling, carefully lower the chicken into the pan. Cook on high for 4 minutes on both sides or until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through in the center. Use a kitchen thermometer to register 165 degrees F inserted into the thickest part of the chicken. Set aside on a plate with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
Arrange the salad ingredients on a large serving platter. Top with chicken and drizzle the honey mustard on top or leave the dressing on the table for each guest to add to their taste.
