  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and move the oven rack to the upper-middle position.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet.Prepare 3 small pans: one with chopped pepitas, one with 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of milk whisked together, and one with a mixture of flour, cumin slat and pepper.Dip the chicken in the flour mixture. Shake off the excess, then dip it in the egg wash, followed by the chopped pepitas.
  • Lay the coated chicken on the baking sheet and repeat with the rest.
  • Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of the breasts. *For chicken tenders bake 15 minutes.While baking, prepare four salad plates with a bed of romaine, followed by thin slivers of mango, avocado, jicama, and red onion.
  • Whisk together the adobo sauce, oil, vinegar, honey, Dijon, and salt.Once the chicken is cooked, allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes. Then top each salad with a chicken breast and drizzle with abodo vinaigrette!
