6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Egg
½ teaspoon Salt
5 tablespoons Bottled green chili salsa or taco sauce
2 cups Fine dry bread crumbs
2 teaspoons Chili powder
1 teaspoon Oregano
2 teaspoons Cumin
1½ teaspoon Garlic powder
3 larges Chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 lbs. each), split, skinned, and
Boned
¼ cup Butter
4 cups Shredded iceberg lettuce (up to 6)
cup (8 oz.) sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup Sour cream
4 Green onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 dozen cherry tomatoes, halved (up to 1)
1 Limes, cut into wedges (up to 2)
1 Ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced

Directions

In a shallow bowl, beat together egg, salt, and salsa or taco sauce.

In a pie pan, combine bread crumbs, chili powder, oregano, cumin, and garlic powder. Dip each chicken piece in egg mixture to coat, then dip in crumb mixture; set aside. Place butter in a large shallow roaster or broiler pan in the oven while it is preheating to 375 F.

As soon as the butter is melted, remove pan from oven. Put chicken pieces in pan, turning to coat with butter. Bake uncovered about 35 minutes until chicken is done. To serve, layer lettuce and then cheese on plates. Slice chicken into bite-sized pieces and lay across top. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, green onion, cherry tomatoes, lime wedges, and avocado. Makes 5 to 6 servings.
