How to Make Apple Crisp Chicken
- Crush 1 cup apple chips and 1 cup corn flakes into coarse crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sturdy plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Add 1 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon seasoned salt to the crumb mixture. Combine thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- In a separate plastic bag, add 1 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon seasoned salt.
- Add 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bag with the spices, and shake until evenly coated.
- Coat each chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of apple butter, then press firmly into the apple chip/cornflake mixture to ensure complete coverage.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully place chicken breasts in the hot skillet and pan-fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and crispy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
