How to Make Crunchy Chip Chicken
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 1 clove of minced garlic. Set aside.
- Crush 1 (1 ounce) bag of tortilla chips into small pieces, roughly the size of oatmeal. (Get the kids involved!)
- Place crushed chips in a large bowl.
- Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Set up an assembly line: bowl of lime mixture on your left, bowl of crushed chips in the middle, and baking sheet on your right.
- Dip each chicken breast in the lime mixture, then dredge in the crushed chips, pressing firmly to coat both sides.
- Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Top each chicken breast with 2-3 slices of jalapeño and 1-2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.
- Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
