Poultry Essentials: Potato Chip Breaded Chicken image

I got six thumbs up on this spur-of-the-moment recipe from my lockdown guests. Went into the walk-in, found some frozen chicken breasts, and made these with stuff I had lying about. This is another recipe that gets put on the lockdown rotation. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Categories     Chicken

Time 4h25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

PLAN/PURCHASE
1 large chicken breast, boneless, skinless
1/2 c greek yogurt
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp lemon pepper spice
1 c potato chips, crushed
salt, kosher variety, fine grind
black pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. My favorite potato chips are an organic sea salt variety; however, cherry-pick the chips with the flavor you enjoy the most.
  • 3. I like what organic Greek yogurt does for this recipe; however, if you are missing that particular ingredient, or you just do not like yogurt, substitute some sour cream with a dash of lemon juice. And, although I have never tried it, you might give mayonnaise a shot.
  • 4. The measurement on chips is not exact, so do not over think about how many whole chips equals one cup; just make sure that you have enough to coat the chicken. And, do not grind them to a powder; leave them a bit chunky.
  • 5. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 6. Cut the chicken breast in half latterly.
  • 7. Combine the yogurt, or sour cream, onion powder, and lemon pepper spice. Then toss in a bit of salt and pepper to taste. Add the chicken, coat with the mixture, and place in the fridge for two-to-three hours, or up to eight.
  • 8. I usually stick it all into a Ziploc bag (as pictured), but a bowl will work just fine.
  • 9. Just before you remove the chicken from the fridge, grind up the potato chips, and season with a bit of salt and pepper.
  • 10. Place a rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
  • 11. Remove the chicken from the marinade, coat with the crushed chips, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, fitted with a wire rack.
  • 12. Place in the preheated oven, and bake until the chicken is golden brown, and an instant-read thermometer reads 160f (71c), about 25 - 20 minutes.
  • 13. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 14. Serve while nice and warm with your favorite sides. Enjoy.
  • 15. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
