Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chip Baked Chicken

Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chip Baked Chicken

Today for Sunday dinner, I made an old family reunion recipe that had been lost.  A cousin's daughter posted a variation and I was excited to make it again.  I think I used to make it with regular crushed potato chips and perhaps added a package of Hidden Valley ranch dressing mix.  But with the funky potato chips out, the flavors are unlimited.

The recipe I recently discovered was a Paula Dean recipe...but we made this dish years before we ever knew of Paula Dean (rest her soul)  She makes it as nuggets but I liked the whole tenderloin.

This is a quick and easy meal.  Love it!  Heard it is yummy with BBQ chips.

 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups crushed sour cream and onion potato chips
• 1 egg                                                  
• 2 tablespoons milk                                                  
• 6 chicken breast fillets, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes  (or leave them long)                                                  
• 1/3 cup butter, melted

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread aluminum foil over bottom of baking dish or cookie sheet.  Pam it.
2. Spread the crushed potato chips in a shallow dish. Beat together the egg and milk in a shallow bowl. Dip the chicken cubes into the egg mixture and then dredge them in the chips.
3. Place the chicken nuggets on a baking sheet and drizzle with melted butter. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
