Ingredients
Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s first take a look at the ingredients you will need:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 cups of flour
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 2 cups of breadcrumbs
– 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 4 cups of potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil
– 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon of paprika
– 1 teaspoon of salt
– 1 teaspoon of pepper
Preparation
Start by preparing the chicken. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Set them aside while you prepare the breading.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. This will be your breading station. Take each chicken breast and dip it first into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally the breadcrumbs. Make sure to press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
Next, prepare the potatoes for the chips. Cut the potatoes into fries, ensuring they are all the same size for even cooking. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels.
Cooking the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat as well. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to the preheated baking sheet and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Cooking the Chips
While the chicken is baking, it’s time to cook the chips. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Stir the potatoes occasionally to ensure they cook evenly. Once cooked, transfer the chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serving
Once the chicken and chips are cooked, serve them together. You can garnish the chicken with a sprinkle of garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, if desired. Enjoy your delicious chicken and chips as a comforting and easy dinner that will leave you feeling satisfied and happy.
