Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups potato chips
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the potato chips in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or your hands. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow bowl.
In a second shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a third shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Working one at a time, dredge a chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
Press the chicken breast into the crushed potato chips, coating both sides evenly. Gently press the crumbs onto the chicken to help them adhere.
Place the coated chicken breast onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken breasts.
Spray the tops of the coated chicken breasts lightly with cooking spray to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the potato chip coating is golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy and flavorful Potato Chip Chicken Breasts!
