Method

Mix the red onion, red wine vinegar and sugar in a small bowl and stir well to combine. Set aside whilst you prepare the rest of the meal so the onions can pickle.
Fill a large saucepan with water and add the baby potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-18 mins until just soft.
Whilst the potatoes are cooking, mix together all the dressing ingredients (leaving the cress for garnish) in a large bowl. When the potatoes are done, drain well and toss into the dressing. Let the potatoes stand for 10 mins before serving so they can soak up the flavours.
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of baking paper and use a rolling pin to bash them out to make escalopes of about 1cm thickness. Place the beaten eggs in a wide bowl. Mix the flour and paprika together on a large plate, and season with salt and pepper. Place the panko on another serving plate.
Preheat the oven to Gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat, with about 2cm deep oil for shallow frying.
Dip the chicken in the flour, then into the egg, then the panko. Fry the chicken pieces for 3 mins each side over a medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a baking tray in the oven for 10 minutes to cook through.
Top the potato salad with the pickled red onions and the cress. Serve the chicken with the potato salad and lemon wedges.
