quick Italian crumbed chicken with coleslaw

Often, if I'm not sure on what to cook for dinner, I resort to a simple and quick crumbed chicken breast. Can't go wrong with that and you can always cut up into strips for a chicken salad or serve them with French fries with dips.
When it comes to the seasoning, be adventurous! I have tried many varieties such as: curry powder, grated Parmesan, fresh chopped herbs, Moroccan spice or even Chinese all-spice. Whatever you think will work, throw it in. 
As for the side, this is a coleslaw with a twist. Little mayo (healthy 😊) and some added Avo for some mono unsaturated fats.

Lightly fry the chicken breasts in some olive oil for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden (Depending on the thickness of the breast).
