Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 4 cups Your favorite potato chips (any flavor)
- 0.5 cups Flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoons Paprika (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 as needed for greasing Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
Cut the chicken breasts into nugget-sized pieces, approximately 1-2 inches wide, and set them aside.
Place the potato chips in a large resealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or your hands. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow bowl.
Set up a breading station with three separate bowls: one for flour, one for eggs, and one for crushed potato chips. In the flour bowl, optionally add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper for extra flavor, then mix well. In the egg bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined.
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken pieces in the egg mixture, allowing any extra egg to drip off.
Press the chicken into the crushed potato chips, ensuring a thick and even coating. Place each coated nugget onto the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the breading process for all the chicken pieces.
Bake the chicken nuggets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, and enjoy!
