Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8-12 oz each)
  • 7 oz sour cream and onion flavored potato chips
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons minced parsley
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1/4 cup neutral cooking oil for frying

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 150ºF.
  2. With a sharp knife, butterfly the chicken breasts open to form 6 thinner slices. (If they are still thick, you can use a meat mallet to pound them out a little thinner.)
  3. Place the potato chips in a gallon size ziplock bag. Use your hands to crush the chips into fairly small pieces.
  4. Place the crushed potato chips in a shallow dish. (I like to use a pie plate.) Add the flour and the parsley and stir to combine.
  5. In another shallow dish, add the eggs and the Worcestershire sauce. Use a fork or a whisk to mix them together well.
  6. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, take one of your chicken breast pieces and dip into the egg mixture. Then transfer to the potato chip mixture, making sure the chicken is well coated. (I will sometimes use my hands to press the breading onto the chicken to make sure it sticks.) Transfer the chicken to the hot oil. Repeat with two more pieces of chicken.
  7. Cook until the chicken is golden brown, then flip and cook the second side. Continue to cook until browned and until the chicken is cooked through. This should take about 10 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet, and transfer to the oven to keep warm.
  8. Repeat with the remaining 3 pieces of chicken.

Notes

  • If your chicken is getting too dark and it is not cooked through yet, you can transfer it to the oven to continue to cook. I would suggest placing it on a cooling rack over a baking sheet to keep the bottom from getting soggy.
