Preheat the broiler to high (to broil the chicken).
Prep and make the salad: Wash and dry all produce. Cut the cucumbers and apples into 1/2-inch cubes. Juice the lemon. In a large bowl, whisk the honey, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp Dijon and a drizzle of oil. Season with salt. Add the cucumber and apple.
Prep the chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the panko into a shallow dish. Coat the chicken all over with the mayonnaise. Working with one chicken breast at a time, press each breast into the panko to coat completely.
Cook the chicken: Heat a large non-stick pan over high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, the the chicken. Pan-fry until golden-brown, 4-5 min per side. (It’s okay if it doesn’t cook all the way through at this step!) Transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet.
Spoon the pizza sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle the tops with mozzarella and Parmesan. Broil in the centre of the oven until the cheese is golden and the chicken is cooked through, 5-6 min. (TIP: Inserting a thermometer into the cooked chicken should display an internal temperature of 175°F.)
Finish and serve: Add the spinach to the cucumber and apple, and toss to coat. Thinly slice the chicken parmigiana and divide between plates. Serve the chicken with a side of salad. Enjoy!
