Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet and grease with nonstick spray.

Step 2

Cut each of the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, making a total of 4 thin chicken breasts. Then flatten with a mallet so that they are uniform in thickness, about 1/4".

Step 3

Put the crushed tortilla chips in a shallow dish and combine with cumin, garlic powder, and paprika. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with a splash of water. In a third shallow dish combine the flour and salt.

Step 4

Dredge chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess; dip in egg mixture, and dredge in crushed tortilla chips. Arrange chicken on wire rack.

Step 5

Bake the chicken for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through (165-degrees or no longer pink).

Step 6

While the chicken is baking, make the spicy cheese sauce.

Step 7

In a saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and cook until slightly thickened, 3-5 minutes. Stir in the cheese, chiles and spices. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Serve chicken breasts with a drizzle of spicy cheese sauce and a sprinkle of tomatoes, cilantro and red onion.
