POLLO CALIENTE 
3 chicken breasts, boneless
Garlic powder to taste
1 c. Picante sauce, med.
1 1/2 c. bread crumbs
Oil for frying, about 1/4 c.
1 lg. ripe avocado, mashed or blended until creamy
Salt and pepper to taste
Garlic powder to taste
2 tsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tbsp. sour cream
3/4 c. finely grated Montery Jack or Longhorn cheddar cheese
Cilantro for garnish

Season each chicken piece with garlic powder and dip in picante sauce, then into bread crumb. Heat oil in large frying pan and fry chicken slowly over medium heat until brown (about 5 minutes on each side). Transfer to broiling pan and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes to drain grease and crisp. Don't over cook.

Meanwhile, blend avocado until smooth add seasonings, lime juice, 3 tbsp. picante sauce and sour cream. Mix together and heat over very low heat (do not boil); or put in small bowl in microwave, covered for 3 minutes on simmer. Serve chicken immediately, topped with avocado mixture and sprinkled with grated cheese and garnish with cilantro.

Serves 6.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
