Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups Potato chips (your preferred flavor)
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 spray Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Place the potato chips in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and crush the chips into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or your hands. Transfer the crushed chips to a shallow dish or plate.
In another shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
In a third shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
Working one piece at a time, coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully covered. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken breast into the egg mixture, turning to coat it completely.
Next, press the chicken breast into the crushed potato chips, pressing down firmly to adhere the chips to all sides. Place the coated chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the coating process for the remaining chicken breasts.
Lightly spray the tops of the coated chicken with cooking spray to help achieve a golden, crispy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve your Crunchy Chip Chicken with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
