An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches. An egg results from fertilization of an ovum.

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

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".

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

great idea for a coating, wow, I'm impressed. diced tortilla chips beat panko crumbs for me any time and queso is a nice touch too, thank you!

This turned out really great and crispy and tasty!  Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe was fast and easy to put together and it tasted great. I made it as written, minus the cayenne pepper. My daughter even uses the extra leftover cheese sauce as a dip for tortilla chips! Thanks for the recipe ...
