Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Put the chips in a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground; set aside.
- Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally so you have 4 thin chicken cutlets.
- Set up a breading station with 3 shallow dishes: Stir together the flour, chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in the first dish. Beat the eggs in the second dish and add the tortilla chips to the third dish. Coat a cutlet in the flour. Dip in the egg, letting any excess drip off and then press into the tortilla chips. Transfer to a plate and bread the remaining cutlets.
- Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until a piece of the breading sizzles when added to the oil. Add 2 breaded cutlets to the oil, making sure they don't touch each other. Fry until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the remaining 1/4 cup oil to the skillet, heat and then fry the remaining cutlets.
- Evenly spread 1/2 cup salsa on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange the chicken in a single layer on top. Pour 1/4 cup of salsa on top of each piece of chicken. Shingle the cheese evenly over the chicken.
- Bake until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the jalapeno and cilantro.

MEXICAN "CHICKEN PARMESAN"
This is a simple, unique twist on Chicken Parmesan with a Mexican flare. The flavors are awesome. Use as little or as much salsa and cheese as you like. I recommend serving it with some cilantro rice or Spanish rice. Or you can simply serve it with some tortilla chips and salsa!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Beat the egg in a shallow bowl.
- Mix in the lime juice with the egg.
- Salt and pepper the chicken breast to taste and dip in the egg mixture and then into the tortilla chips. Coat both sides of the chicken well.
- Place the chicken in a greased glass baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is nearly done. (I would recommend flipping the chicken once during this time.)
- When the chicken is almost done, remove the baking dish from the oven and add 1/4 cup of salsa on top of each chicken breast, then cover with cheese.
- Place back in the oven and bake another 10 minutes until cheese is melted and salsa is heated through.
- Serve with rice or tortilla chips and salsa. You may also want to garnish with cilantro for some added flavor.
MEXICAN CHICKEN "PARMESAN" (MINUS THE PARMESAN)
My Mexican twist on a classic...Chicken Parmesan. I test many of my recipes on my 3-year old Granddaughters and Grandpa. Unfortunately they ate almost all of it...none left for Grandpa. So, I thought it might be worthy of posting.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Pound chicken breasts to approximately 1/4-1/2 inch thickness.
- In 3 separate shallow bowls put enough flour (seasoned with salt and pepper) to lightly dredge the chicken in one bowl, 2 beaten eggs in the second and the Panko bread crumbs mixed with the taco seasoning in the 3rd.
- In the following order for each breast: dredge in the seasoned flour shaking off excess, put them next into the eggs to moisten each side and then into the Panko/taco seasoning mixture making sure to coat the chicken breast entirely. Set the prepared chicken breasts aside for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the Canola oil to a large enough skillet to fit all 4 breasts and preheat the pan over med/high heat.
- Cook each breast until lightly browned on each side and remove from the pan. The chicken does not have to be cooked through as it will continue cooking in the oven.
- Place the 4 chicken breasts in a casserole dish. Top each with 1/2 cup of prepared salsa. Place in the oven for 15 minutes to finish cooking the chicken and heat the salsa through.
- Remove from the oven and top with 1/2 shredded cheese on top of each breast and return to the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and it's ready to serve.
- I serve this over Cilantro rice and add a "blop" of sour cream and some diced green onions on top.

Tips:
- To achieve a crispy crust, use a combination of panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
- If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs, but they won't be as crispy.
- You can also use a food processor to grind up the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- If you're using a food processor, be sure to pulse the ingredients until they're finely ground.
- Don't overcook the chicken breasts. They should be cooked through, but still juicy and tender.
- If you're using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature of the chicken breasts should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- You can also use a non-stick skillet to cook the chicken breasts. Just be sure to add a little bit of oil to the skillet before cooking.
- Serve the chicken parmesan with your favorite pasta sauce and a side of spaghetti or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Chicken parmesan is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken breasts, and it's also a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a delicious chicken parmesan that your whole family will love.
