Place the chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet to an even half-inch thickness. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, half the salt, and the black pepper. Place the beaten egg in a small bowl.
Dip the chicken into the egg, letting any excess drip off, then press firmly into the seasoned flour mixture to coat both sides. Heat the canola oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, carefully add the chicken. Cook for 5 minutes, flip, and cook for 5 minutes more until the crust is deep golden brown and the meat is opaque. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
While the chicken rests on a paper-towel-lined plate for 3 minutes, toss the mixed greens with the lemon juice, olive oil, and the remaining salt. Plate the fried chicken next to the salad.
