Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups Potato chips (plain or flavored as desired)
- 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 or oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
Place the potato chips in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin or your hands. Transfer the crushed chips to a shallow dish.
In another shallow dish, mix the flour with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a third shallow dish, beat the eggs until fully combined.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated.
Press the chicken into the crushed potato chips, coating both sides evenly and pressing gently so the chips adhere well.
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out for even cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray or drizzle with a small amount of oil to enhance crispiness.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Quick N Crunchy Potato Chip Chicken with your favorite sides!
