Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose baking mix
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups crushed spicy tortilla chips
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves
  • 6 skinned and boned chicken breast halves, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • Ranch dressing
  • Barbecue sauce

Directions

Place baking mix in a shallow dish. Whisk together egg and enchilada sauce in a small bowl. Stir together tortilla crumbs and cilantro in a separate shallow dish.

Dredge chicken pieces in baking mix; dip in egg mixture, and dredge in crumb mixture. Cover chicken, and chill 30 minutes.

Pour oil into a large skillet; heat to 375 degrees F. Fry chicken, in batches, 3 minutes on each side or until brown. Drain on wire racks over paper towels. Serve chicken with ranch dressing or barbecue sauce.
