These crispy potato crusted chicken tenders are crunchy, and delicious! This is a kid-friendly meal that you can have on the table in 30 minutes or less.
We used traditional chips in this version but you can easily and quickly change the overall flavor by changing the type of chips you use. We made it once with maple bacon chips and they were out of this world!
These will disappear quickly, so make lots!
Crispy Potato Crusted Chicken Tenders
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4
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.
Directions:
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 or try our favorite. Our favorite dipping sauce for these is a simple mixture of BBQ sauce and mayonnaise. Use whatever proportions you prefer! YUM!
We love this scrumptious and easy to make creamy coleslaw with these chicken tenders.
