I got six thumbs up on this spur-of-the-moment recipe from my lockdown guests. Went into the walk-in, found some frozen chicken breasts, and made these with stuff I had lying about. This is another recipe that gets put on the lockdown rotation. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make poultry essentials: potato chip breaded chicken

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

My favorite potato chips are an organic sea salt variety; however, cherry-pick the chips with the flavor you enjoy the most.
Step 3

I like what organic Greek yogurt does for this recipe; however, if you are missing that particular ingredient, or you just do not like yogurt, substitute some sour cream with a dash of lemon juice. And, although I have never tried it, you might give mayonnaise a shot.
Step 4

The measurement on chips is not exact, so do not over think about how many whole chips equals one cup; just make sure that you have enough to coat the chicken. And, do not grind them to a powder; leave them a bit chunky.
Step 5

Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Step 6

Cut the chicken breast in half latterly.
Step 7

Combine the yogurt, or sour cream, onion powder, and lemon pepper spice. Then toss in a bit of salt and pepper to taste. Add the chicken, coat with the mixture, and place in the fridge for two-to-three hours, or up to eight.
Step 8

I usually stick it all into a Ziploc bag (as pictured), but a bowl will work just fine.
Step 9

Just before you remove the chicken from the fridge, grind up the potato chips, and season with a bit of salt and pepper.
Step 10

Place a rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
Step 11

Remove the chicken from the marinade, coat with the crushed chips, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, fitted with a wire rack.
Step 12

Place in the preheated oven, and bake until the chicken is golden brown, and an instant-read thermometer reads 160f (71c), about 25 – 20 minutes.
Step 13

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 14

Serve while nice and warm with your favorite sides. Enjoy.
Step 15

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
