Battered and then oven fried, these chicken breasts then get topped with a Mediterranean-inspired vegetable salsa. The seasoned batter crisps up in the heat of the oven and also helps insulate the chicken, keeping it moist. We opted for an Italian dressing to mix with the vegetables, but a variety of vinaigrette flavors will complement the other ingredients. Use whatever olive variety that you like; kalamata and Castelvetrano olives would both be delicious choices. When buying avocados, be cognizant of when you plan to use them. If it will be a few days, buy a firm one so that it will be ripe by the time you’re ready to use it. If you plan to use it the same day, then find one that’s a tad soft.
