Flavorful, crumb-coated, baked chicken slices are served on a bed of mixed salad greens and chopped tomatoes. This warm main-dish salad is ready to eat in just 30 minutes.


   1/4 cup margarine or butter, cut into 4 pieces
   6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
   2 large eggs
   1 1/4 cups medium chunky-style picante sauce
   1 1/3 cups unseasoned bread crumbs
   1 teaspoon salt
   1 teaspoon cumin
   1 teaspoon chili powder
   1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
   4 green onions, sliced
   1 (16-ounce) package mixed salad greens
   3 medium tomatoes, chopped
   1 (8-ounce) bottle red wine vinegar and oil salad dressing
   1 avocado, peeled, sliced
   1 cup sour cream


Heat oven to 400°F. Place margarine in 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan. Place pan in oven; heat 3 minutes or until margarine is melted. Tilt pan to coat with margarine.

Meanwhile, cut chicken breast halves in half lengthwise. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. In large bowl, beat eggs; stir in chicken and 1/4 cup of the picante.

In shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, salt, cumin, chili powder and oregano; mix well. Add chicken pieces to bread crumb mixture, a few at a time; turn to coat. Place coated chicken in margarine-coated pan. Bake at 400°F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.

Reserve 1 tablespoon of the green onions for garnish. In large bowl, combine remaining onions, salad greens and tomatoes; toss gently. Pour half of the dressing over salad; toss to coat. Arrange evenly on 8 individual plates.

Spoon chicken into center of each salad. Top each with 1 tablespoon sour cream and about 1/2 teaspoon reserved green onions. Garnish each plate with avocado slices. Serve with remaining half of salad dressing, 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 cup picante.
