I had SO MUCH FUN creating this recipe with my long-time friend and Makeup Artist, Lindsay Arnold!!!
My hope for you is that you infuse a little fun and kitchen “know-how” into your cooking this week and be on the lookout for more great recipes like these by following us on Instagram @huggmissionmarket.
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:
- Throw into a bowl & squeeze the juice from 1 lime (or lemon).
- 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:
- Run plantain chips into a food processor until you get a Medium-Coarseness crumb.
- Set up 3 shallow bowls of the following: Flour, Egg, Batter (Plaintain Chips). This is what I call the FEB method.
- Lightly dip both sides of chicken into flour and then beaten eggs.
- Press into plantain chips.
- 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:
- Serve over a bed of greens with your favorite dressing.
- Slice chicken and lay on top.
- Place two spoonfuls of Salsa.
- Disfrute!
