Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 chicken breasts I used the thin cut breasts
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 packet taco seasoning or a blend of Mexican spices
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 bunch green onions
  • Monterey Jack cheese
  • sour cream
  • salsa
  • cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Set up a breading station. In one dish, combine cornmeal, flour, and taco seasoning. In another whisk eggs with salt and pepper. In a large skillet or saute pan, heat oil and butter over medium-high heat. Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, and then into the flour mixture. Make sure that your chicken is well coated with the flour.
  • Cook the chicken until one side is golden brown and flip to the other side. If your breasts are thin enough, they will cook through. If not, transfer them to a 350 degree oven to finish cooking. You can also keep the chicken in a low oven to keep them warm until you are finished browning them all, like 250 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, gather your toppings. Slice the Monterey Jack and green onions thinly. Get your sour cream, salsa, and cilantro ready. Place a few thin slices of avocado and some green onions on the top of the chicken. Cover with a few slices of cheese. Place under the broiler to melt.
  • Add some cilantro leaves, sour cream, and salsa to the top.
  • I also served a doctored version of my baked rice, I added a cup or two of frozen peas right before the rice was to come out of the oven. A little butter, a Tablespoon or two of paprika, and lots of salt and pepper.
