How to Make Amazon Fried Chicken Breasts With Cilantro Sauce

  1. **Make the Cilantro Sauce:** In a blender, combine 1 cup packed cilantro leaves, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, and 1/4 cup water. Blend until smooth.
  2. Transfer the cilantro mixture to a bowl and whisk in 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. **Prepare the Chicken:** In a shallow bowl, lightly beat 2 large eggs.
  4. In another shallow bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Crush 1 cup potato chips into coarse crumbs. Spread in a third shallow bowl.
  6. Lightly coat each chicken breast (about 4, 6 oz each) in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip in the beaten eggs, ensuring full coverage.
  7. Thoroughly coat the chicken with the crushed potato chips, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. **Fry the Chicken:** Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  9. Carefully add the chicken breasts to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
  10. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  11. **Serve:** Serve the Amazon Fried Chicken immediately with the cilantro sauce and a side of tomato salad.
