Mexican Pan Fried Chicken

The cornmeal crust makes a crunchy coating. It is a great alternative to the same old boring boneless/skinless chicken routine.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup buttermilk
• 2⁄3 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1  tablespoon chili powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 4  boneless skinless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/2- to 1/3-inch thickness
• 2  tablespoons  vegetable oil
• 1  cup salsa

Directions

1. Pour buttermilk into shallow dish. Combine cornmeal, chili powder, and salt in separate shallow dish. Place chicken in buttermilk and turn to coat. Place chicken in cornmeal mixture and turn to coat.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 chicken breasts; sauté until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate; tent with foil. Repeat with remaining oil and chicken.
