Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Step 2: Cut 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts into 3-inch strips and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup crushed potato chips, 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, and 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, mixing thoroughly.
  4. Step 4: Place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in a second dish, and beat 2 large eggs in a third dish.
  5. Step 5: Dredge each chicken strip first in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat evenly with the potato chip mixture.
  6. Step 6: Arrange the coated chicken fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray to encourage browning.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
  8. Step 8: Let rest for 3 minutes before serving to lock in juiciness.
