Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (The main protein source; ensures easy prep and tenderness.)
  • 1 tsp Salt (Enhances flavor, adjust to your taste.)
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper (Provides a mild heat; freshly ground adds the best flavor.)
  • 1 tsp Paprika (Offers color and a mild pepper essence; smoked paprika gives a deeper note.)
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder (Adds savoriness; fresh garlic can intensify flavor.)

Breading Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (Forms a base coating; substitute with gluten-free flour if needed.)
  • 2 large Eggs (Helps the coating stick; a flax egg works for vegan options.)
  • 3 cups Kettle Chips (The star of the crust; classic salted is recommended.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice chicken. Slice the chicken breasts into 1-inch wide strips.
  3. Season chicken. Blend together salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, then sprinkle it over the chicken strips.
  4. Prepare coating stations. Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with crushed kettle chips.
  5. Bread chicken strips. Dip each chicken strip into flour, then eggs, and finally roll in crushed kettle chips.
  6. Arrange on baking sheet. Place each breaded chicken strip on the baking sheet with some space between them.
  7. Bake chicken. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through at 165°F (74°C).
  8. Cool slightly and serve. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
