Milanesa De Pollo With Jicama Slaw
- 2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
- 1 cup thinly sliced jicama
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeno chile, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 large lime)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Cholula)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 (6-oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup (about 4 1/4 oz.) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs)
- 1/2 cup (about 2 1/8 oz.) plain yellow cornmeal
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Fresh cilantro leaves
- Prepare the Jicama Slaw: Toss together cabbage, jicama, scallions, cilantro, and jalapeno in a large bowl.
- Whisk together lime juice, oil, honey, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle over cabbage mixture, and toss to coat. Set aside.
- Prepare the Chicken Milanesa: Place chicken breasts on a sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface. Cover with a second piece of plastic wrap, and, using a meat mallet, pound to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Place beaten eggs in a second shallow dish. Combine panko and cornmeal in a third shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour mixture; dip in egg, shaking off any excess. Dredge in panko mixture.
- Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add coated chicken in a single layer. Cook 3 minutes. Turn chicken, and cook until browned and done, about 2 minutes. Serve the Chicken Milanesa with Jicama Slaw and cilantro leaves.
