1. 1Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and move the oven rack to the upper-middle position.
2. 2Place a piece of parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet.
3. 3Prepare 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.
4. 4Shake off the excess, then dip it in the egg wash, followed by the chopped pepitas.
5. 5Lay the coated chicken on the baking sheet and repeat with the rest.
6. 6Bake 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.
7. 7Whisk 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!
