Crispy Potato Chip Chicken

April 3, 2014 Leave a Comment

“Out of SHAKE ‘N BAKE? How could I be out of SHAKE ‘N BAKE!” We were having SHAKE ‘N BAKE chicken for dinner–at least, I thought we were. My husband loves it and we were looking forward to it. It was time to make dinner and, to my dismay, I discovered that we were out of it! There was no way I had time to go to the store that close to dinner. I needed a quick, tasty, simple solution.

Simple Solution: use potato chips instead! (It tasted GREAT!)

Crispy Potato Chip Chicken

Ingredients

Crushed Potato Chips

Panko Bread Crumbs

2 T Butter, melted

1 Egg, beaten

4 split chicken breasts. skin on

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°

You will have to experiment with amounts (sorry). I used about 2 parts potato chips, 1 part Panko bread crumbs.

Combine them.

Dip the chicken (with skin on) in beaten egg and then in the crumbs.

Melt butter and drizzle over the top of each piece.

Bake in a 400° for 40 minutes

Serving suggestion: rice, rice pilaf (pictured), sweet potato fries, regular French fries or mashed potatoes with a green vegetable.

Best Chicken French Recipe Ever

October 7, 2011 Leave a Comment

Welcome to the best Chicken French Recipe ever. I mean it. This recipe is the best EVER – and I’ve had a lot of Chicken French.

This recipe came to me when some friends, Alan and Judy–fellow parents at our son’s school–decided that they’d like to treat us to dinner. We weren’t able to go out so they brought dinner to us.

The main dish they brought was Chicken French…this Chicken French. I’d never tasted anything so good and Judy told me that it was easy to make. I found that hard to believe but, easy or hard, I had to know how to make it. She readily shared the recipe and she was right…it was almost too simple to be true.

Whether you’re making it for the family or presenting it to guests, who will think a gourmet chef made it, you will want to make this dish again and again!

French Cooking?..did you ever think you’d be cooking French cuisine? If you’d like to get serious about, as did Martha Stewart and Julie Powell (of Julie & Julia fame) did, you may want to get Julia Child’s classic cookbook “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” or simply enjoy it vicariously with a copy of Julie & Julia on DVD starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams.

Enjoy!
