Instructions
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet with olive oil or nonstick spray.
Place flour on a large plate. On another large plate, mix together panko, onions powder, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and oregano. In a large bowl, whisk eggs.
Season chicken with salt. Dredge it in flour, then egg, then panko mixture. Place on a prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray.
Bake for 25-30 min or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees. Flip the chicken halfway through baking and spray again with olive oil.
While the chicken cooks - combine diced tomatoes, jalapenos, onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Salt to taste and set aside. As the pico sits, some liquid will accumulate. You can drain that if you want.
Once the chicken is done, top with smashed avocado and pico. Serve immediately.
Notes
Only top your chicken when you are ready to eat, or the chicken breading might get soggy.
