Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, or large plastic bag crush the plantain chips until they are a coarse meal. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin.
  3. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then coat with the plantain mixture. Place on baking sheet.
  4. Bake for ~20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. While the chicken is baking, combine all avocado cream ingredients in a blender or food processor and combine until smooth. Can be used as a dipping sauce, or drizzle over the chicken.
  6. Serve immediately.
