  • Barbecue Potato Chips
  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Halves

How to Make Barbecue Chip Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup barbecue dressing, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  3. Place 1 1/2 cups crushed potato chips (about 1 bag) in another shallow bowl.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the barbecue mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, press the chicken into the crushed potato chips, completely covering both sides.
  5. Place the coated chicken breasts on a rimmed baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the chips are golden brown. Internal temperature should reach 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!
