The great American philosopher, Homer Simpson, once said, “You don’t make friends with salad.” This cold, spicy, and addictively delicious chicken noodle salad might be the exception. You bring a big bowl of this to the next big cookout, and you’re going to make all sorts of friends. The only people who might not be huge fans are the folks who brought regular pasta salads, in which case the best you can hope for is frenemies.
While I also love more traditional pasta salads, there’s just something extra special about this combination of tastes, and textures, as well as the always exciting aspect of spicy food served cold. Besides that, this recipe is a perfect catchall for all those summer vegetables we're supposed to be eating more of. No matter what you add, if you can make this ahead, it will always come out a little better, since the noodles and chicken will have time to soak up all that flavorful dressing.
As I mentioned, this salad usually gets made because you have some possibly dry leftover grilled chicken around, or other meat for that matter, but if you do want to poach some like I did here, I would watch this video for the proper technique. Or, in a pinch, just pick up a rotisserie chicken from the store. Regardless of what you use, I really do hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy!

Ingredients
For Chicken:
2 Chicken Breast,sliced to make 4 halves,1/2 Inch thick
Firstly clean and pat dry the chicken breast. Cut each chicken breast to make two halves.
Pound the chicken piece to make it thin around 1/2 Inch each.
In three separate deep bowl, add the breading mix. In first bowl whisk eggs, in the next bowl add the flour,salt,garlic powder,pepper powder,onion powder,paprika and in third bowl add panko and parmesan. Keep this aside.
Now start the breading process,dip each chicken piece in flour mix,shake off excess flour mix.
Then dip that in eggs and finally in panko mix to coat the chicken pieces evenly.
Heat a skillet with olive oil and butter,and arrange the chicken pieces and cook till chicken is crispy. Turn the chicken pieces on both sides to cook the chicken well.
If you are using storebought sauce jar/marinara/tomato/spaghetti sauce then skip this step.
Here in a pan add olive oil,add the minced onion and garlic. Cook till its soft, add the spices,tomatoes and stock. Cook on low flame till soft and cooked well.
Alternatively cool this and grind once to make smooth sauce. I have left it chunky.
Next Preheat the panggangan at 375f / 190c. Arrange the chicken in a baking tray with little marinara sauce on top and with shredded mozzarella, bake this for 10 mins till crispy and cheese has melted.
