I have made a version of this recipe twice, and I like the flavor combination. I made a few adjustments. Instead of breading and frying the chicken, I just sprinkled it with salt and cumin and browned both sides in a pan with olive oil. Instead of putting sour cream on top, we added a little lime juice to taste at the table, and that gave it the extra kick it needed. Nice recipe, and the chicken looks lovely!

I changed the recipe a little. I breaded the chicken with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs... Cut avocado in strips and added the juice of half a fresh lime.... Topped avacado on chicken and used mozzarella cheese and monterey jack cheese and baked... While it was cooking cut up a fresh tomato from the garden and made brusetta... After chicken was done i served it with the brusetta..... yummy
