Breaded Chicken Cutlets with Deconstructed Guacamole

Breaded chicken cutlets cooked in the skillet topped with everything I normally add to my guacamole – sliced avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, red onion and lime juice.

Ingredients:

  • 2 8 ounce boneless chicken breasts ( cut in half lengthwise to make 4 thinner cutlets)
  • 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as adobo seasoning)
  • 2 large egg whites (beaten)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sazon (homemade or packaged)
  • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (or gluten-free crumbs)
  • 1 -1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 ounces avocado (from 1 small hass)
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes (halved)
  • 1/4 cup slivered red onion
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • 4 lime wedges for serving

Directions:

  • Season cutlets with seasoned salt. Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. In another bowl beat egg whites sazon together. Dip chicken cutlets in egg whites, then breadcrumb mixture, shaking off excess.
  • Heat a large nonstick frying pan on medium heat. Add the olive oil. When hot add the cutlets and cook about 6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  • In a large bowl combine the avocado, red onion, tomato, cilantro, salt, pepper, cumin, and lime juice. Gently toss and serve over the chicken with additional lime wedges.
  • Air fry in batches 400F 6 to 7 minutes turning halfway, until the crumbs are golden brown and the center is no longer pink.
