GATHER THE INGREDIENTS: 


Salsa

  • 1 Mango 
  • 1 Avocado 
  • 1 Lime 
  • ¼ Cup Cilantro, Minced 
  • ¼ Cup Red Onion, small-diced 
  • 1 Plum Tomato, small-diced 
  • 1 Jalapeno, seeded, small-diced 
  • Salt, to taste


PREPARE IT:


  1. Throw into a bowl & squeeze the juice from 1 lime (or lemon). 
  2. Mix thoroughly, refrigerate and allow flavors to mellow for at least an hour.  


Plantain-crusted Chicken:

  • 4 Chicken Breasts, butterflied and flattened 
  • ¼ teaspoon Paprika 
  • 1 bag of Plantain Chips (salty) 
  • ½ C Flour
  • 2 Eggs, beaten in a shallow bowl 
  • Salt, to taste 
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable Oil for light pan frying 


PREPARE IT:


  1. Run plantain chips into a food processor until you get a Medium-Coarseness crumb. 
  2. Set up 3 shallow bowls of the following: Flour, Egg, Batter (Plaintain Chips). This is what I call the FEB method. 
  3. Lightly dip both sides of chicken into flour and then beaten eggs. 
  4.  Press into plantain chips. 
  5. Heat up skillet with enough oil to lightly cover the pan over Medium-Heat. *Cook chicken 4-5 minutes on either side.  

*You may have to adjust heat to ensure that you are not burning the breading, I flip the chicken twice to ensure even browning without burning. 


SERVE IT:


  1. Serve over a bed of greens with your favorite dressing. 
  2.  Slice chicken and lay on top. 
  3.  Place two spoonfuls of Salsa. 
  4.  Disfrute!
