Potato Chip Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Potato Chip Parmesan Chicken Breast

You know how you often end up with those crushed chips at the bottom of the bag? Well, I decided that I was going to use those to crust some boneless, skinless chicken breasts. The results were a delicious, moist chicken breast. I served them with some homemade Chipotle Ranch Dip and broccoli.

Ingredients:

  • 1 boneless skinless chicken breast per person (I made 4 chicken breasts as I wanted leftovers, so chip/cheese proportions are based on that.)
  • 2 cups crushed potato chips (I used plain that I crushed to a bread crumb consistency.)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

  1. Prepare a baking dish and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Mix together the potato chips and Parmesan cheese.
  3. Press each chicken breast into the potato chip mixture (both sides)
  4. Place chicken breasts into the baking dish and sprinkle remaining potato chip mixture over the chicken breasts.
  5. Bake until internal temperature of the chicken breasts at the thickest point reaches 160 degrees F.
  6. Remove the chicken breasts from the oven and allow to rest. The internal temp of the chicken breasts will rise about 5 degrees while you’re resting the chicken, so the final temp will be 165 degrees.
  7. Serve with your favorite veggies and dipping sauce.

The Chipotle Ranch Dip is just my homemade ranch dip with some chipotle seasoning added to it for a little extra kick.

    • I hate wasting food even if it is just the crushed chips at the bottom of the bag. I had them in a ziploc baggie just waiting to be used. lol!
