The Best Mexican Fiesta Chicken
40
I wanted to use up some thin chicken cutlets that I had in my freezer and was thinking what I could make with the ingredients that I had on hand. I normally would make Chicken Parmesan but I had no mozzarella cheese. I did, however, have shredded cheddar cheese and salsa so I came up with Mexican Fiesta Chicken. It was really delicious and you make it the same way that you would make it chicken Parmesan. It’s a perfect dish to serve to company, so to see how I made it, keep reading.

1½ lbs. thin sliced boneless, skinless chicken cutlets
2-3 cups seasoned breadcrumbs
extra virgin olive oil, enough for frying up the chicken cutlets
2 eggs, beaten

1 tsp. cumin
a few dashes of hot sauce, or more if you like it hot
