How to Make Barbecue Chip Crusted Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Place one can (approx. 5 oz) of barbecue chips in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Crush into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or meat mallet.
  3. In a small bowl, combine crushed chips with 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary.
  4. In a shallow dish, whisk 2 large eggs.
  5. Place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in a separate shallow dish.
  6. Dip each chicken breast (about 1.5 lbs total) in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  7. Dip the floured chicken breast in the egg wash, ensuring it's fully coated.
  8. Press the coated chicken breast into the crushed chip mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  9. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté chicken for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  10. Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  11. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
