Ingredients
-
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
-
1 large bag potato chips, crushed
-
2 eggs, beaten
-
2 tablespoons seasoning salt (such as Lawry’s)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare a skillet with oil if frying.
-
Place crushed potato chips in a shallow bowl.
-
In another bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the seasoning salt.
-
Dip each chicken breast first into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with crushed potato chips, pressing to adhere.
-
For baking: place coated chicken breasts on a greased baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden.
-
For frying: heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken breasts for 5–7 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Drain on paper towels.
- Let rest a few minutes before serving.
Notes
-
Use your favorite flavored potato chips to vary the taste (e.g., BBQ or sour cream & onion).
-
For extra crispiness, spray the coated chicken lightly with cooking spray before baking.
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before serving.
