Instructions

  1. MAKE THE DRESSING. In a blender, combine all ingredients except cilantro and puree until smooth. Add cilantro and pulse until cilantro is mostly chopped but you can still see green specks in the dressing.
  2. MARINATE THE CHICKEN. Coat chicken breast with half of the dressing, cover and marinate for 30 minutes and up to 1 day in the fridge. Set aside.
  3. COOK THE CORN. Add corn in a large pot and bring to a boil. Cook until corn is bright yellow and fully cooked. Set aside until cool enough to touch. Cut kernels off the cob.
  4. COOK THE CHICKEN. In a shallow bowl, add crushed tortilla chips. In separate bowls, place egg and flour. Remove chicken from marinade, wipe off excess marinade, and discard. Coat chicken in a layer of flour, then dip in oil, then coat in crushed tortilla chips. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan, over medium heat. Add chicken and cook on each side for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown, until juices run clear and chicken is completely cooked. Slice chicken into large pieces, cover with aluminum foil, and set aside.
  5. COOK THE SWEET POTATO NOODLES. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add sweet potato noodles, salt, chili powder, and toss with tongs to coat noodles. Cook until noodles, tossing occasionally, until "pasta" is al dente. Add corn kernels, diced red onion and toss with remaining dressing until well combined.
  6. ASSEMBLE BOWLS. Divide noodle mixture into four separate bowls. Add sliced chicken. Top with diced avocado and sprinkle with cheese. Serve warm.
