1-1/2 pounds fresh boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions:

  1. Pound chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper to about ¼-inch thickness; set aside.

  2. In a shallow dish combine cornmeal, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Dip chicken breasts in beaten egg, then into cornmeal mixture.
