Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Lightly spray a small baking sheet with nonstick spray.

  2. Place baking sheet in oven for 10 minutes to heat prior to putting the chicken cutlets on it.

  3. Whisk together the lime juice, egg white, soy sauce, oregano, and garlic in a medium bowl.

  4. Place the panko, adobo seasoning, and salt on a sheet of wax paper. Dip the chicken, one piece at a time, into the lime mixture then into the panko mixture, pressing lightly so the crumbs adhere.
