INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 3 large ripe tomatoes, diced
• 1 large hot house cucumber, diced
• ½ small red onion, diced
• 1 cup halved and pitted calamata olives
• ½ cup Greek vinaigrette
• 4 8-ounce boneless and skinless chicken breasts, sliced lengthwise into 3 pieces
• Coarse sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper
• 2 cups Panko Japanese bread crumbs
• 2 cups Canola oil
• 6 12-inch round flour tortillas, cut 2 into 6 triangles

METHOD:

In a bowl, combine the feta, tomato, cucumber, onion, olives and vinaigrette.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and coat with the bread crumbs. Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry the triangle tortillas until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Season with salt. Fry the 4 remaining whole tortilla shells until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels. Discard most of the oil. Add the chicken to the same skillet and cook until golden and cooked through.

To serve, place a tortilla shell on each plate. Top with the chicken, salad, and tortilla chips.
