Zubereitung von Crispy Cheesy Tortilla Chip Pan Fried Chicken
- **Make the Avocado Sauce (ahead of time):**
- Combine 1 ripe avocado, 1/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 jalapeño (seeded and minced), and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro in a food processor or blender.
- Blend until completely smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve. (This sauce is served cold).
- **Prepare the Chicken:**
- Let chicken breasts reach room temperature.
- Using a food processor, finely grind 6 corn tortillas into crumbs.
- Set up three dredging stations:
- - Station 1: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- - Station 2: 2 large eggs, lightly beaten with 1/4 cup salsa
- - Station 3: Ground tortilla chips
- Make a 1/2-inch-deep slit in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Secure with toothpicks.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Dip in the egg and salsa mixture.
- Finally, coat thoroughly in the ground tortilla chips.
- **Cook the Chicken:**
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place chicken breasts in the skillet.
- Saute on each side until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side).
- For crispier chicken, transfer the skillet to a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the juices run clear.
- **Serve:**
- Garnish the cooked chicken with the chilled avocado sauce. Serve immediately with your favorite sides (rice, salad, coleslaw, etc.).
