PEPITA CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH MEXICAN CORN CAKES
Steps:
- For chicken:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Pound chicken breasts into 1/4-inch thickness. Place the eggs into a dish. The next dish mix flour, salt and pepper. In a third dish place pepitas and panko. Dip chicken into the eggs and then the flour mixture, back to the eggs and then into the pepita/panko mix to coat. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray and place chicken on top. Bake for about 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
- For corn cakes:

In a small bowl whisk egg white until slightly stiff peaks form. Fold whisked egg into other ingredients. In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, place 2 tablespoons oil. Drop batter by tablespoons into hot skillet making 8 cakes. Cook approximately 1 minute on each side or until browned.

Steps:
- In a bowl, combine cajun spice, finely ground pepitas and cracked black pepper; coat both sides of the chicken tenders "well"; set aside.
- You will need to make sure to "rub" the spice into the chicken.
- Heat pan on medium low; add 4 tablespoons grapeseed oil.
- Add chicken for about 50 second each side; set aside on a paper towel to drain.
- NOTE The coated chicken WILL cook VERY quickly and is best to use caution to lower the heat than to have it burn.
- Lower heat to low; add to oil... chilli, cumin, cinnamon and any leftover combination mixture of cajun spice, ground pepitas and cracked black pepper; stir for about 3 - 4 minutes.
- NOTE The pan does "smoke.
- If you have ANY concerns re your pan "smoking", simply remove pan from the stove top; making sure to keep stirring. When your confidence returns, simply return it to the stove top until you are happy with the coloring.
- If the spices soak up all of the oil, you may need to add more oil.
- You WILL want to "continuously" stir the spices in oil as they DO burn easily. Do not say you have not been warned! lol.
- With heat on low, add dark chocolate and stir; combining it with the spices "well.".
- When the dark chocolate is fully melted, add diced tomatoes; stirring until combined.
- Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
- I like chicken bites, so I cut my chicken before returning it to the pan and simmered for an additional 10 minutes. Olé!
CHICKEN BREASTS IN POBLANO SAUCE
This yummy recipe comes from Jalapenos, a local Mexican restaurant. It was originally published in the Houston Chronicle food section, in an article for Cinco de Mayo.I have made it with light butter and fat-free heavy cream or half-and-half to cut down on the fat grams and it is still delicious!
