Potato Chip Chicken Tenders
Description
This recipe breaded chicken tenders with a unique coating of smashed wavy potato chips, adding a distinctive crunch and flavor. Chicken breasts or tenderloins are cut into strips and seasoned with salt, pepper, and herbs. The breading process involves dredging chicken in seasoned flour, dipping in egg wash, then coating with the crushed potato chips. Baking on a wire rack at 400°F allows the heat to circulate around the chicken, crisping the coating evenly.
The resulting tenders have a golden, crunchy exterior with flavor notes from onion powder, parsley, and dill. The inside remains juicy and tender due to the moderate baking time. This approach offers a creative alternative to traditional breadcrumbs for coating chicken.
These tenders are suited for casual meals or snacks, providing a textured contrast between the crisp chip crust and moist chicken. They can be served with dipping sauces or as part of a larger meal. No frying is needed, making them lighter and less greasy than fried versions.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast or chicken breast tenderloins
- 4 oz potato chips wavy
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper ground
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp parsley dried
- 1/4 tsp dill dried
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a wire rack on the baking sheet.
- If necessary, cut chicken breasts into tender size. Smash wavy potato chips into small pieces until they are small enough to be a breading. Scramble eggs together in a small bowl. In a shallow dish combine flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, parsley and dill
- Bread the chicken tenders by dipping them first into the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat them in the potato chip breading. Place each breaded chicken tender on the rack on the baking tray.
- Bake in the oven at 400F for 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before enjoying.
