Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 cups Potato chips (your preferred flavor)
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 spray Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Place the potato chips in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and crush the chips into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or your hands. Transfer the crushed chips to a shallow dish or plate.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.

Step 5

Working one piece at a time, coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully covered. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 6

Dip the floured chicken breast into the egg mixture, turning to coat it completely.

Step 7

Next, press the chicken breast into the crushed potato chips, pressing down firmly to adhere the chips to all sides. Place the coated chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Repeat the coating process for the remaining chicken breasts.

Step 9

Lightly spray the tops of the coated chicken with cooking spray to help achieve a golden, crispy crust.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve your Crunchy Chip Chicken with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
