Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups cilantro leaves
2 garlic cloves
1 jalapeno, seeded
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 cup mayonnaise
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 (5 1/2 ounce) bag potato chips, finely crushed
4 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves, pounded 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine the cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, vinegar and water and puree. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the mayonnaise. Cover and refrigerate.
  • In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the eggs. In another shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Spread the potato chips in a third bowl. Lightly coat the chicken with the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the beaten eggs. Coat the chicken with the potato chips.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook over moderately high heat until golden and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plates. Serve at once with the cilantro sauce.
