Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 cups dry stuffing mix (herb-seasoned)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
Place the dry stuffing mix in a resealable plastic bag or a food processor. Crush the stuffing into fine crumbs if needed, ensuring some texture remains.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Step 4
In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until fully combined.
Step 5
Spread the crushed stuffing mix out in a third shallow dish, creating a coating station.
Step 6
Pat the chicken breasts dry using paper towels. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Step 7
Dip the floured chicken into the egg and buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.
Step 8
Press the chicken firmly into the crushed stuffing mix, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
Step 9
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 coated chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining butter and chicken breasts.
Step 10
Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed veggies, and enjoy!
