Tortilla-crusted chicken

Posted by Eileen Devlin in Food, Low Calorie, Main Course, Poultry on December 8th, 2009

With this being my first post I wanted to be sure the dish is well worth your try. Rest assured, it is. For something so simple there is a lot of flavor and texture.

You will need:

1 c finely crused multigrain tortilla chips
1/2 tsp dried oregano, crushed
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 egg
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 lb total)
shredded romain/salad
purchased salsa*
avocado slices

1. Preheat oven to 375 and coat a baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a shallow dish combine chips, cumin, oregano, and pepper. Place egg in another shallow dish; beat lightly. Dip chicken in egg and then coat with tortilla chip mixture.

2. Arrange chicken in prepared baking pan and bake for 25 minutes or until no longer pink. Serve on romaine and top with salsa and avocado. Makes 4 servings. Enjoy!

*I used a medium salsa for extra ‘kick’ and flavor.

    Hi Eileen!

    Welcome to the site and you’ve picked a great looking dish to start with. The tortilla chip mixture is rather appealing. I wonder what other dishes could use it….

    Looking forward to your posts.

    Welcome! Looks fantastic, I love crispy chicken. I could go for some of that right now, I’m wicked sick of take out. Heh.

    Van: Just a suggestion, since this is a group blog you might want to put who wrote each post somewhere in it. I love the new format too, nice and clean.

    I noticed the name of the author shows up on the main page but not on the individual story. I plan on fixing that one up this evening. Good catch on that, and thanks for the kind words on the new format!
