Description
There's no denying the immediate satisfaction that comes from biting into a crispy chicken tender, especially when it's coated in a potato crust that's been baked to perfection. The combination of crispy and juicy is irresistible, and it's hard to stop at just one.
Ingredients
1 lb. chicken breast tenders (or 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thirds, to form chicken tenders)
5 T. flour
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. onion powder
1/2 t. dried dill
1 large egg
4 oz. ridged potato chips
Cooking spray
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
To serve: Ranch, honey mustard, BBQ, etc. as desired.
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
-
Line a rimmed baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
-
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried dill. Whisk to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
In a separate shallow dish, whisk the egg with salt and pepper, to taste.
-
Place the potato chips in a zippered bag and smash with a rolling pin or a wooden spoon until the chips are broken down into smaller pieces, roughly the size of panko breadcrumbs.
-
Transfer to chips to a third shallow bowl.
-
Bread the chicken by placing each tender in the flour first, then dip it into the egg, and finally coat it with the crushed potato chips.
-
Place the breaded tender on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the same process with all the remaining chicken pieces.
-
Spray the chicken tenders with cooking spray and place in the oven to bake until golden and crispy on the outside and cooked through in the middle, 20-25 minutes.

Remove from the oven and serve alongside ranch or honey mustard dip.

Enjoy!
