Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups potato chips (salted or flavored, depending on preference)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lightly oiling it or lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the potato chips in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into small crumbs using a rolling pin. Alternatively, pulse them in a food processor. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow dish.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
In a third shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
Step 5
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour, ensuring it is coated evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 6
Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.
Step 7
Press the chicken firmly into the crushed potato chips, coating it completely and evenly. Gently press the chips into the chicken to help them adhere.
Step 8
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, sear the chicken breasts for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the potato chip crust is golden and crispy.
Step 9
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve the Hoosier Chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
