Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, if preferred
- 2 cups potato chips classic flavor or any favorite varieties
- 1 cup all-purpose flour substitute with almond flour for a gluten-free option
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil for baking
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Crush the potato chips in a ziplock bag until they resemble coarse crumbs.
- In three separate shallow dishes, set up your breading station: one for the flour, one for the beaten eggs mixed with garlic and onion powder, and one for the crushed potato chips.
- Season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge each breast in flour.
- Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.
- Coat the chicken in the crushed potato chips, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the breaded chicken onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and spray them lightly with cooking spray or drizzle olive oil.
Cooking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and edges turn golden brown.
Notes
Feel free to get creative—add cayenne pepper for a kick or use seasoned chip varieties for an extra layer of flavor. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to let the juices redistribute.
