Potato Chip Crusted Chicken Breasts Recipe

August 22, 2016

Crunchy potato chips are a natural coating to create a crispy crust for baked chicken breasts everyone in the family will love for dinner.

Potato Chip Crusted Chicken Breasts Recipe | #baked #recipes #easy foodiecrush.com

This post is sponsored by Kettle Brand Potato Chips

Growing up, my dad came home nearly every day for lunch. I would eat with him and my mom during the summer months when we girls were home from school wishing we were at the pool instead of home doing our chores. He and my mom would break out the sandwich fixings, usually liverwurst, salami or sausage for him, and for her it was usually a turkey, tuna fish or her classic melted (not grilled) cheddar cheese sandwich.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

Their sandwich routine switched up a little every day but there was always one addition to the lunch that never wavered. Potato chips. Salty, crunchy potato chips. To this day, whenever I eat a sandwich with chips (of course I have to stack them inside the sandwich for added crunch value) I happily remember those days of licking my fingers clean of the salty leftovers and briny flavor bits on my lips.

These days, potato chips at our house have an added duty to sitting side saddle (or inside) our lunchtime fare. With this recipe for Potato Chip Crusted Chicken Breasts, they’ve moved from lunch to dinner, and are putting everyday chicken breasts at the center stage of crunchy flavor.

And with just three ingredients, this is one of the easiest dinners you’re going to make all year.

Mix and Match Your Chip Flavors

Coating chicken breasts to create a crunchy outside is absolutely nothing new. You can achieve it with flour, bread crumbs and even cereal.

But nothing gives baked chicken breasts more flavor and more crunch than a coating of crushed potato chips. Kettle Brand Potato Chips give these dinner birds an even crunchier munch because of their thicker, kettle fried potato chip bite.

With this recipe, you can pick and choose any one of the many flavors of Kettle Brand potato chips to serve to the variety of tastebuds in your house. Someone wants a spicy crunch but someone else wants the sweet notes of honey or maple? No problem! You can easily customize these chicken pieces for every eater and because the potato chips have such great flavorings, there no need to even think about adding extra ingredients. Simply choose the potato chip flavors you want, place in a gallon size freezer bag and roll with a rolling pin into small pieces to coat the chicken breasts.

We cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so they’re thinner and therefore cook faster and more evenly. My husband likes to give them a light tenderization with our little kitchen mallet, too.

Next, simply dredge the chicken in egg, then the chips and place on a baking sheet lined with foil and topped with a cooking or cooling rack. Cooking the chicken on the rack keeps the bottoms of the chicken from becoming soggy, and cooks the chicken on both sides so there’s no flipping required.

Take a Dip

The chicken is delicious served all on its own, or if you’re a dipper, it’s super easy to mix up dipping sauces that complement the potato chip flavors. Here are some flavor combos I created, but I totally encourage you to use your craving’s imagination and see what you come up with your own.

Maple Bacon Potato Chip crusted chicken breasts with a dip of raspberry jam + a bit of water, or Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce

Honey Dijon Potato Chip chicken breasts amped up even more with a 3 mustard sauce dip (mix grainy mustard + yellow mustard + a small squirt of yellow mustard) or classic ranch dressing or mayo spiked with Sriracha sauce, perhaps?

Pepperoncini Potato Chip crusted chicken breasts with peach preserves + diced jalapeño

Sriracha Potato Chip crusted chicken breasts with a coconut milk + mayonnaise + pesto dip

And for the best bite yet, mix and match the sauces to create an abundance of flavor.

With just three ingredients to make this chicken, it’s about to become your favorite weeknight dinner yet…

Potato Chip Crusted Chicken Breasts Recipe

Crunchy potato chips are a natural coating to create a crispy crust for baked chicken breasts everyone in the family will love.

Ingredients

  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 8.5- ounce bag Kettle Brand Potato Chips any flavor, or a mix of flavors to equal 4 cups of crushed chips
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and split lengthwise to create a thinner chicken breast. Lightly tenderize the breasts with a meat tenderizer. Season both sides with kosher salt.
  3. Prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a cooling rack on top to create a baking rack.
  4. Add about 2 cups of potato chips to a gallon freezer bag and seal. Gently roll a rolling pin over the chips to crush into small flakes. Add more chips to the freezer bag and crush as long as it's manageable.
  5. Pour the crushed chips into a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, whisk the two eggs until smooth. One at a time, dip both sides of the chicken breasts into the egg then place in the bowl with the potato chips. Using the opposite hand you used for the egg, firmly press the potato chips into the chicken breast on both sides to create a thick crust. Place the crusted chicken breast on the baking rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken has an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Serve on its own or with dipping sauces of your choice.

    I’ve always wanted to try a potato chip crust recipe. This looks yum! I think there’s a typo in the 3 mustard sauce dip… I think if you have 2 parts yellow and 1 part grainy its still just a 2 mustard sauce. ;) (mix grainy mustard + yellow mustard + a small squirt of yellow mustard)

    This was great and so simple. I tried it with Empire Organic Kosher boneless, skinless chicken thighs, which are juicer than chicken breasts. It’s essential to flatten them out with a rubber mallet (I stomped on them while they were still in the package then flattened them out in the egg mix.) Twenty minutes at 400 F on a rack was perfect.

    Oh my! This was YUMMY and so easy! I used a “generic” bag of lime chips my husband brought home that was too “limey” to eat on their own. I didn’t use any extra salt; the chips were enough. I decided to try it on one chicken breast first just in case we didn’t like it.

    For dipping, I just used a Walmart brand Honey Mustard. For my palette, the sweet tangy flavor is the perfect compliment to the lime flavor from the chips.

    Your tips to slice the breasts thin and the roasting pan setup were GOLD! We’re having it again tonight!

    I’ve been making potato chip chicken for a while but I just dredge in butter, not egg. My favorite flavor is sour cream and onion chips. Do you have a pairing for a sauce with that?

    Trying chicken with chips tonight. I wrote Kettle several months ago and suggested they come up with bottled spice for their vinegar and salt mix. They claimed to pass it on to their lab. Never heard back. It is a fabulous mixture. I would use it on chicken, steak, salad…anything. They need to think outside the box. Thanks.
