Barbecue Chip-Crusted Chicken Recipe

American · Main course · 40 min total

Crushed barbecue potato chips create a crispy, flavorful crust on tender chicken breasts, making this an easy and kid-friendly weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 cups finely crushed barbecue potato chips (about 5 oz)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly grease.
2. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to even 1/2-inch thickness. Pat dry.
3. Set up a breading station: in a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. In a second dish, place beaten eggs. In a third dish, combine crushed chips.
4. Dredge each chicken breast in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip into egg, letting excess drip off, then press into chip crumbs, coating both sides.
5. Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
6. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
7. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

• For extra crunch, use kettle-style potato chips.
• Serve with ranch dressing or barbecue sauce for dipping.
• Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in oven to maintain crispiness.
