Tortilla Chicken with Salsa Verde

(from largomason’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 egg white, beaten
  • 1/2 cup tortilla chips, crushed
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup salsa verde
  • 1/4 cup pico de gallo (chopped fresh tomatoes and onions)
  • 1-2 slices or 4 tbs. white cheese (ideally Mexican cheese, but provolone worked fine for me!)
  • cilantro sauce: cilantro, oil, avocado, salsa verde

Directions

  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!
