Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups Potato chips (plain or flavored as desired)
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0 as needed Cooking spray or oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
Step 2
Place the potato chips in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin or your hands. Transfer the crushed chips to a shallow dish.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, mix the flour with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
In a third shallow dish, beat the eggs until fully combined.
Step 5
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 6
Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated.
Step 7
Press the chicken into the crushed potato chips, coating both sides evenly and pressing gently so the chips adhere well.
Step 8
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out for even cooking.
Step 9
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray or drizzle with a small amount of oil to enhance crispiness.
Step 10
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 11
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Quick N Crunchy Potato Chip Chicken with your favorite sides!
