Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Finely chop @pecans{1%oz} (or crush in their bag with a heavy pan or rolling pin).

Place @butter{1%tbsp} in a #medium microwave-safe bowl{}. Microwave until melted, ~{30%seconds}.
Let cool slightly, then stir in chopped pecans, @panko breadcrumbs{½%cup}, half the @Fry Seasoning{2%tbsp} (you'll use the rest later), a drizzle of @olive oil{}, and a pinch of @salt{} and @pepper{}.

In a #small bowl{}, combine @honey{4%tsp}, @Dijon mustard{4%tsp}, and @mayonnaise{4%tbsp}.

Pat @chicken cutlets{20%oz} dry with paper towels; season with remaining Fry Seasoning, @salt{}, and @pepper{}. Place on a #baking sheet{} oiled with @cooking oil{1%tsp}.
Evenly spread tops of chicken with a thin layer of honey mustard sauce (reserve the rest for serving). Mound with pecan mixture, pressing firmly to adhere (no need to coat the undersides).
Roast on middle rack until crust is golden brown and chicken is cooked through, 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, halve, core, and thinly slice @apple{2%unit}. Quarter @lemon{1%unit}.
In a #large bowl{}, toss @mixed greens{4%oz} and apple with a large drizzle of @olive oil{1%tbsp} and as much lemon juice as you like. Season with @salt{} and @pepper{}.

Divide chicken and salad between plates. Drizzle chicken with remaining honey mustard sauce. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
