Meanwhile, cut chicken breast halves in half lengthwise. Cut crosswise into ½-inch slices. In large bowl, beat eggs; stir in chicken and ¼ cup of the picante. In shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, salt, cumin, chili powder; taco seasoning mix well. Add chicken pieces to bread crumb mixture, a few at a time; turn to coat. Place coated chicken in margarine-coated pan. Bake at 400F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the green onions for garnish. In large bowl, combine remaining onions, salad greens, cilantro and tomatoes; toss gently. Pour half of the dressing over salad; toss to coat. Arrange evenly on 8 individual plates. Spoon chicken into center of each salad. Top each with 1 tablespoon sour cream and about ½ teaspoon reserved green onions. Garnish each plate with avocado slices. Serve with remaining half of salad dressing, ½ cup sour cream and 1 cup picante.
