Crusted Chicken Breasts with Peach Salsa

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Serves: 4


Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons liquid egg substitute
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 cups bread crumbs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons cumin, ground
  • 1 pounds chicken breast, boneless/skinless, raw
  • 3 peaches, fresh
  • 1 bell pepper, red, medium
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, fresh
  • 1 tablespoons green onion, chopped
  • 2 slices jalapenos, sliced
  • 1 tablespoons honey
  • 1/8 teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, extra virgin
Preparation:
  • Spray a jelly-roll pan or other shallow baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In a shallow bowl or pie plate, lightly whisk the egg substitute with 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of the lime juice with a fork until frothy.
  • In another shallow bowl or pie plate, mix the bread crumbs, chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of the cumin.
  • One at a time, dip the chicken breasts into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then roll the chicken in the crumbs, pressing them on the surface.
  • Place the chicken breasts on the prepared pan. Set aside, uncovered.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Wash peaches, remove pits, and dice; wash and dice bell pepper; wash and chop cilantro; wash and mince onion; and mince jalapeno slices.
  • In a medium bowl, combine peaches, bell peppers, cilantro, onions, jalapeno, honey, black pepper, remaining 4 teaspoons of lime juice, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of cumin. Cover and set aside.
  • Drizzle the chicken evenly with the olive oil and bake for 10 minutes. Turn the chicken over and bake for 5 minutes longer, or until crisp, lightly browned, and cooked through (no longer pink inside).
  • Serve the chicken with the peach salsa; garnish with lime wedges and/or cilantro sprigs, if desired.
