How to Make Quick N Crunchy Potato Chip Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place 1 cup of potato chips in a zip-top bag and crush using a rolling pin until finely crushed. Set aside ¼ cup of the crushed chips for garnish.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine the remaining crushed potato chips and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
  4. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
  5. Season chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) with salt and pepper.
  6. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  7. Dredge the chicken in the potato chip mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  9. Sear chicken for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  11. Garnish with reserved crushed potato chips and serve immediately.
