Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 cups prepared stuffing mix (unprepared crumbs only)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
Place the stuffing mix crumbs in a shallow dish or plate. Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the crumbs and mix well to combine.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs and whisk in the milk until fully combined.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure the coating sticks evenly. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated, and then press it firmly into the seasoned stuffing crumbs.
Ensure each piece is fully coated with the crumbs on all sides. Repeat for all chicken breasts.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil or spray with cooking spray to encourage browning and crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, stuffing-coated chicken with your choice of sides!
