Preparation

Step 1

1. Make the chimichurri: Stir together the cilantro, garlic, lime juice, cider vinegar, oregano and pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Add 5 tablespoons of the oil, 2 tablespoons water, and salt to taste.

2. Put the chicken in a shallow dish with 2/3 cup of the chimichurri sauce, turning to coat. Marinate 10 minutes.

3. Heat the butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet until hot. Dredge the chicken in the panko to coat both sides. Cook the chicken 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy on the bottom. Transfer to 4 plates, top with the avocado and remaining chimichurri, and serve.
