Before starting, preheat your broiler to high and wash and dry all produce. Core, then cut apples into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut cucumbers into 1/2-inch pieces. Juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges. Whisk together mustard, 2 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tbsp oil in a large bowl. Season with salt. Add cucumbers and apples, toss together. Set aside.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper. Pour panko into a shallow dish. Coat chicken all over with mayo. Working with one chicken breast at a time, press each breast into panko to coat completely.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 2 tbsp oil, then chicken. Pan-fry, on one side, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. Flip each breast and add another 2 tbsp oil. Pan-fry, until golden brown, 4-5 min. (NOTE: It’s okay if chicken is not cooked all the way through at this step!) Transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet.
Spoon marinara sauce over chicken, then sprinkle over half the cheese. Broil in middle of oven, until cheese is golden and chicken is cooked through, 5-6 min.**
Add spinach to the bowl with cucumbers and toss together. Thinly slice chicken parmigiana. Sprinkle remaining cheese over salad. Divide chicken parmigiana and salad between plates. Squeeze over a lemon wedge, if desired.
