 Ingredients:

  • 1 whole boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 5 to 6 ounces potato chips, any flavor
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cut the chicken into finger-size pieces.
3. Fill a large, sealable plastic bag with the potato chips, seal the bag, and crush the chips with the back of a wooden spoon.
4. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk.
5. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg mixture, then into the bag. Shake gently to cover.
6. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
7. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping once during the cooking time, until chicken fingers are golden.
8. Serve with barbecue sauce, salsa, or honey mustard.


Helpful Hints:

Thawing chicken is an easy but important step in this recipe. Thaw chicken, and all foods, in the refrigerator. For speedy thawing, the microwave can be used, per the manufacturer's directions. Food should be cooked immediately after thawing this way. Chicken breasts slice easily if they are partially frozen.


This recipe makes a healthy, lower fat version of chicken tenders. Try using barbecue chips or sour cream and onion chips for flavor variety.


The egg plays an important role in this recipe. It holds the chip crumbs to the chicken, and helps create a nice crunchy coating.


Leftover chicken fingers should be refrigerated. They would be great on top of a crisp green salad.


Safety Tip:

Use dry hot pads to take pan from oven.
