Serves: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 egg white, beaten
  • ½ cup tortilla chips, crushed
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • ½ cup salsa verde

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Coat the chicken with the egg white. Combine the panko and the crushed chips. Dip/press the chicken into the panko mixture until well coated. Fry the chicken in 1-2 tbs. oil over medium-high heat, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  2. When the outside is nice and golden brown, transfer to the oven and bake for 15-25 minutes at 400 degrees (depending on the size and temperature of your chicken breasts).
  3. Add the cheese; return to the oven for a few minutes until melted.
  4. Spoon salsa verde on the plate; place chicken on the salsa verde, and sprinkle cilantro sauce and pico de gallo over the top! Que bueno!
