Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Trim and discard root end from lettuce; thoroughly dry leaves and chop into bite-size pieces. Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add panko and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 3-5 minutes.
Turn off heat; transfer panko to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Wipe out pan.
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for panko over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side.
In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, add chimichurri and a drizzle of oil to pan; cook, stirring, until chicken is coated in chimichurri.
Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a cutting board.
While chicken cooks, in a large bowl, toss lettuce and tomato with dressing.
Dice chicken into ½-inch pieces.
Add chicken to bowl with salad. Toss to combine.
Divide salad between shallow bowls. Top with toasted panko. Grate Parmesan over top and serve.
