Tortilla Chicken with Salsa Verde

Tortilla Chicken with Salsa Verde


Description

This tortilla chicken with salsa verde is chicken coated with corn tortilla chips and topped with salsa verde. Adapted from my favorite Mexican restaurant!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 egg white, beaten
  • 1/2 cup tortilla chips, crushed
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup salsa verde
  • 1/4 cup pico de gallo (chopped fresh tomatoes and onions)
  • 12 slices or 4 tbs. white cheese (ideally Mexican cheese, but provolone worked fine for me!)
  • cilantro sauce: cilantro, oil, avocado, salsa verde

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Coat the chicken with the egg white. Combine the panko and the crushed chips. Dip/press the chicken into the panko mixture until well coated. Fry the chicken in 1-2 tbs. oil over medium-high heat, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  2. When the outside is nice and golden brown, transfer to the oven and bake for 15-25 minutes at 400 degrees (depending on the size and temperature of your chicken breasts).
  3. Add the cheese; return to the oven for a few minutes until melted.
  4. Spoon salsa verde on the plate; place chicken on the salsa verde, and sprinkle cilantro sauce and pico de gallo over the top! Que bueno!
