- •Egg, Whole, Large

Instructions
- 1Make the chicken. Season the chicken all over with salt. In a shallow bowl or pie pan, beat the eggs. In a second shallow bowl, place the panko. In a third shallow bowl, place the flour. Working with one piece at a time, dip the chicken into the flour and turn to coat. Then dip it into the egg, letting the excess drip off. Then dip it into the panko, gently pressing to adhere.
- 2Pour ¼-inch vegetable oil into a large skillet. Heat over medium heat. Once the oil is glistening, work in batches, adding the chicken in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd, and cook until just golden brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F on an instant read thermometer, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more oil to the skillet as needed to maintain ¼-inch. Once the chicken has cooled slightly, thinly slice lengthwise into strips.
- 3Make the salad. On a large platter, arrange the romaine in a single layer. Evenly top with the bacon, eggs, tomatoes, avocado, green onions, blue cheese, and sliced chicken. Drizzle with the ranch to serve, or serve it on the side.
