Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or cutlets

Coating

  • 2 cups crushed potato chips (plain, flavored, or kettle-style)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional spices: garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, to taste
  • Optional: butter or oil for drizzling or brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Crush potato chips: Place the potato chips in a zip-lock bag and gently crush them, leaving some texture for added crunch.
  3. Prepare dredging stations: In one bowl, beat the eggs; in another bowl, mix the crushed potato chips with optional seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.
  4. Season and coat chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Dip each piece into the beaten eggs, then press firmly into the chip mixture until fully coated.
  5. Arrange on baking sheet: Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, preferably on a wire rack if you have one, spacing them apart to allow even cooking.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown.
  7. Rest and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving hot alongside your favorite sides or sauces.

Notes

  • Use a wire rack on the baking sheet to help keep the coating crispy by allowing air to circulate around the chicken.
  • Choose your favorite flavored potato chips for a unique taste variation.
  • Ensure the chicken cooks to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to avoid any food safety issues.
  • Optional drizzle of melted butter or oil before baking can enhance browning and flavor.
  • Leftover coated chicken can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
