How to Make It :

Bread & Fry the Chicken:

Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dip in egg, then breadcrumbs. Pan-fry until golden and cooked through. This gives you that crispy, juicy finish and zesty lime upgrade.

Fry the Plantains:

Heat oil in a pan, fry sliced plantains until golden and caramelized. Sprinkle lightly with salt. These are your sweet and savory MVPs and comfort food perfection.

Steam or Reheat the Rice:

Fluff up freshly cooked rice or reheat gently. Sprinkle chopped herbs on top for that simple fluffy side that ties everything together.

Mix the Avocado Salad:

Toss avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Season with salt, pepper, and a splash of lime juice. This fresh and creamy contrast balances the whole dish with cool tropical vibes.
