Bobby's chicken and salad

1. Prepare the chicken:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
1. Cut the chicken into pieces approx 6"x2" (or however big you want for cooking, you will be slicing it once It's cooked).
2. Heat olive oil in a pan on medium heat and put the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika in a dish for coating.
3. While oil is heating, dip each piece of chicken into the seasoning mixture. Once oil is hot, pan fry the chicken for a few min on each side to get a nice sear on the outside. Do not overcook.
4. Place chicken into an oven safe casserole dish and bake for approx 20 min until chicken is at 165 degrees.
While the chicken is cooking, make the vinaigrette:
1. Combine all of the ingredients, except for the olive oil, in a bowl or a "2 cup" glass measuring cup.
2. Whisk all of the ingredients together and then slowly pour the olive oil into the mixture, whisking the entire time.
3. Once vinaigrette is combined leave aside and store any remaining dressing in the fridge.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes then slice it into the size you'd like.
