A delightful baked chicken dish featuring creamy avocado and melted cheese, perfect for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and proper melting of the cheese.
Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Flattening the chicken helps it cook evenly and absorb flavors better.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even coating on the chicken.
Dredge each chicken breast in the cornstarch mixture, then dip it in the beaten egg mixed with water, and finally coat it with cornmeal.
Using separate plates for each coating step can make the process cleaner and more efficient.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and lightly brown the chicken on both sides.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and top each piece with avocado slices and shredded cheese.
Arrange the toppings evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Check the chicken's doneness with a meat thermometer; it should read 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
Garnish just before serving to keep the toppings fresh and vibrant.
