A few days ago, I shared that I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak of the new cookbook, Incredible One-Pot Cooking: Easy, Delicious Recipes for Exciting Meals-Without the Mess, by my blogging friend Megan Marlowe, of Strawberry Blondie Kitchen – a new cookbook that was released yesterday. The cookbook features one pan, dish or pot meals – many of which are ready in 30 minutes or less. And a great many of the recipes are unique spins on classic recipes most people know and love. I gave you a full review of the cookbook a few days ago, but this recipe was so delicious, I couldn’t wait to share it with you.

One of the recipes that got my attention immediately was this one. I grew up on breaded chicken cutlets, fried with a side of Rice-a-Roni or tossed on a salad, so I’m a sucker for some crispy chicken cutlets. It just feels like home to me. This Everything But the Bagel Avocado Chicken took those chicken cutlets to a new level.

  1. Baked, not fried – so healthier! 
  2. Everything But The Bagel seasoning – homemade (I usually use this mix) or store-bought- that I adore. I’ve put it on homemade crackers, bagels, my morning avocado toast. So good!
  3. Smashed avocado flavored simply with garlic, salt and pepper
  4. And your favorite topping. I used crumbled bacon (because, bacon), but Megan suggests sliced hard boiled egg or bruschetta topping. Use what makes you happy.

Ingredients

Ingredients for the Chicken:

  • cooking spray
  • 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 c. panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 Tbs. Everything but the Bagel seasoning
  • 4 4-oz. chicken cutlets (I used 2 breasts, trimmed, cut in half)

Ingredients for the Avocado Topping:

  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 1 clove garlic
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • 1/2 Tbs. lime juice optional

Optional Toppings

  • cooked bacon, crumbled I used 1 slice per chicken breasts
  • sliced hard boiled eggs
  • bruschetta or pico de gallo
  • additional Everything but the Bagel Seasoning

Instructions

Make the Chicken:

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.

  2. Prep for breading. In one shallow bowl, gently stir together flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. In a second shallow bowl, whisk together eggs. In a third shallow bowl, mix together breadcrumbs and Everything but the Bagel seasoning.

  3. Dredge each chicken cutlet first in flour, then in egg, then in breadcrumb mixture. Place chicken cutlet on prepared baking sheet.

  4. Bake for 30 minutes, until cooked throughout (chicken should have an internal temperature of 165F).

Make the Avocado:

  1. While chicken is cooking, mash avocados and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. If not serving immediately, add lime juice to minimize browning. Set aside.

Assemble & Serve:

  1. Spread 1/4 of avocado mixture on top of each baked cutlet. Add any desired toppings and serve immediately.

  2. (If you anticipate leftovers, wrap cutlets separate from avocado mixture and toppings. Reheat cutlet and then assemble just before serving.)
