Method

In a large bowl combine chicken, 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs, 1 of the eggs, 1/2 cup of the sour cream, mustard, half of the green onions, Parmesan cheese, herb seasoning, basil, and 1/4 cup of the cilantro. Set aside. In a skillet cook bell pepper, anaheim pepper, onion, and celery in 1 tablespoon of the hot oil until tender; stir into chicken mixture. Shape chicken mixture into patties. In a small bowl beat remaining egg. Place the remaining bread crumbs in shallow dish. Coat chicken patties with egg and bread crumbs. Fry patties in remaining hot oil about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. In a small bowl combine remaining sour cream, 1 teaspoon of the lime peel, 2 tablespoons of the lime juice, and hot sauce. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Cover and chill until needed. For salsa, in a small bowl combine the peaches, remaining lime juice, remaining lime peel, remaining green onions, remaining cilantro, cumin, and jalapeno pepper. To serve, arrange salad greens on each serving plate; add a chicken patty. Top each with some of the sour cream mixture and a dollop of salsa.
