Mexican Chicken

Once upon a time, I was not a fan of cornmeal or cornmeal-crusted anything. I've become much more open to cornmeal, especially in Mexican dishes. This one is just fabulous. I have also quickly become a fan of cilantro. We paired our chicken with Spanish rice and corn.

What you need:

• Chicken breasts
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup flour
• 1 pkg. taco seasoning
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup oil
• 3 Tbsp. butter
• Green onions
• Monterey Jack cheese
• Sour cream
• Salsa
• Cilantro

Directions:

 

On one plate, combine cornmeal, flour, and taco seasoning. 

In a bowl, whisk together with eggs, salt, and pepper.

Heat oil and butter over medium-high heat in a skillet.
Dip chicken in eggs and then cornmeal mixture. 

 

Cook chicken until golden brown on each side.

Place green onions on the cooked chicken and then top with a few slices of cheese. 

 

Broil until cheese is melted. Then top with cilantro, sour cream, and salsa.
