Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • to taste Kosher salt
  • to taste Ground black pepper
  • 1 1/3 cups crushed potato chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • Preferred sauce

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature is just right for baking, allowing the chicken to cook through while the potato chips become golden and crunchy.
  2. Season the chicken breasts liberally with Kosher salt and ground black pepper. Make sure you don’t skimp on the seasoning; it’s essential for the flavor!
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the crushed potato chips, dried parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix everything together until the chips are evenly coated with the spices.
  4. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until they’re well mixed. This will create the binding agent that helps the potato chips stick.
  5. Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. This step is crucial for achieving that crispy crust!
  6. Now, take the egg-coated chicken and roll it in the potato chip mixture, pressing down gently to ensure a good coating. You want each piece to be well covered in those tasty crumbs.
  7. Carefully place the coated chicken on a greased baking sheet, making sure there’s space between each piece for even cooking.
  8. Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. Keep an eye on them, and check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for perfectly cooked chicken.
  9. Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This resting time helps the juices redistribute, making the chicken even more tender.
  10. Finally, slice your Potato Chip Chicken and serve it warm with your preferred dipping sauce. Enjoy the satisfying crunch paired with the juicy chicken!
