Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Sprinkle chicken breast with salt and pepper. Squeeze fresh orange juice on top and brush with Dijon mustard. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast. Sear until golden brown, 3-4 minutes per side. Once seared on both sides, place in the preheated oven and roast until the chicken registers 160°F. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- In a large measuring glass or blender container, combine the avocado, cashews, orange juice, Dijon mustard, garlic cloves, scallion, dill, basil, rice vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add 1 tbsp water until desired consistency. Dressing can be made one day in advance and kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The dressing will oxidize and darken with the avocado.
- Remove large ribs from the lettuce and chop. Place chopped lettuce on a large platter and dress with the desired amount of dressing. Top with the sliced chicken, segmented oranges and grapefruit, sliced avocado, cashews, and goat cheese. Serve immediately.

CRISP CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH LEMONY HERB SALAD
This schnitzel is light and crunchy with a crust that rises like a soufflé. The secret is to trap air in the crust when you cook the meat by moving and shaking the pan (Ms. Clark demonstrates with pork in this video.) You can use this technique with a variety of meat cutlets.

Steps:
- Mince anchovies and garlic and mix with a large pinch of salt until you get a rough paste. Put it in bowl and whisk in the lemon zest, juice and another pinch of salt and some pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
- Place eggs in one shallow dish, bread crumbs in another, and flour mixed with cayenne and nutmeg in a third. Season chicken cutlets generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1/8 inch oil in a large skillet. While oil heats, dip cutlets one by one into flour (shake off any excess), then into eggs (ditto) and finally into the bread crumbs, taking care not to handle chicken more than necessary (hold meat by ends).
- When oil sizzles when a pinch of bread crumbs is thrown in, add a chicken cutlet (or two if your skillet is large, leave plenty of room around them). Swirl pan so oil cascades over top of cutlet in waves. When bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes, flip and brown the other side, swirling pan (swirling helps create air pockets, giving you lighter schnitzel). Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking platter or baking tray and sprinkle with more salt. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Toss salad greens and herbs with just enough anchovy-lemon dressing to lightly coat them. Divide salad on serving plates and top with schnitzel. Drizzle with more dressing and garnish with scallions.
