Chicken Ingredients:
2 Chicken Breasts
2 tablespoons Olivelle Sweet Applewood Barbecue Rub & Seasoning
1 teaspoon Olivelle Smokey Bacon Infused Sea Salt
1/2 cup Buttermilk
2 Eggs, beaten
1 cup Flour
3 tablespoons Olivelle Maple-Wood Smoked Bacon Infused Olive Oil ‍

Honey Mustard Dressing:
1/4 cup Yellow Mustard
2 tablespoons Honey
2 tablespoons Olivelle Bourbon Barrel Aged Balsamic
1/4 teaspoon Olivelle Smokey Bacon Infused Sea Salt

For the Salad:
1 Head Romaine Lettuce, chopped
1/2 Cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
1 Cup Cucumbers, sliced
1/4 Medium Red Onion, thinly sliced
1/3 Cup Cheddar Cheese, grated
4 Slices Cooked Bacon, chopped

Directions:
1. Butterfly chicken by cutting horizontally through the middle of the chicken breast. Season with the rub and salt then place in a medium size bowl. Top with buttermilk, turn to coat all sides and allow to marinate for at least 20 minutes and up to 6 hours.

2. In two shallow bowls, add beaten eggs to one and flour to the other. Dredge the chicken by dipping first in eggs then in flour. Shake off excess flour and let rest on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes.

3. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add chicken and cook 5-6 minutes per side or until chicken is golden brown and cooked throughout. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes then cut into strips.

4. Meanwhile in a small bowl whisk together the mustard, honey, bourbon balsamic, and sea salt.

5. Arrange lettuce on a platter, top with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, cheese, bacon, and sliced chicken. Drizzle the dressing over and enjoy!
