- 1 1/2 Cups Hint of Lime Tortilla Chips, finely crushed
- 1/2 Cup Plain Panko Breadcrumbs
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1 Cup AP Flour
- 3 Large Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, halved lengthwise
- 4 Tbsp Olive Oil, divided
- 1 Tbsp Ghee (or butter), divided
- Lime Wedges, for serving
Set up 3 bowls for a breading station. Put flour in the first bowl. Add the eggs to a second bowl and whisk them up. In the third bowl, add the chip crumbs and the Panko breadcrumbs and mix together.
Bread the halved chicken breasts by first dredging into the flour, then the eggs and finally the chip-breadcrumb mix (shake off the excess after each dip).
Cook the chicken in 2 batches to not overcrowd. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil and 1/2 tbsp of ghee to a cast iron (or non-stick skillet) over medium-high heat. Add half of the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until the crust is crispy and golden brown and the chicken is completely cooked through. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Remove the first batch of chicken from the skillet to a plate. Carefully wipe out the skillet with a dry paper towel to remove any burnt crumbs. Then add the remaining olive oil and ghee to the skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the second batch of chicken and repeat cooking instructions above. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
