Ingredients
4boneless skinless chicken breasts
pinch of salt and pepper
½cupFrench Onion chip dipsuch as "Heluva" good dip
2 ½cupsFrench's Crunchy Toppersmeasure before crushing
Instructions
Pour onions into a large zipper storage bag. Remove air and close tightly. Using a rolling pin, gently crush until only smaller pieces remain. Pour into a wide shallow bowl or pie plate.
Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
Spread chip dip evenly over one side of chicken breast using a brush or back of spoon. Lay dip side down into crushed onions. Spread remaining dip on the top side. Flip chicken and press into crumbs to coat other side. Roll from side to side to allow coating to cover chicken completely.
Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
Cover a baking sheet with foil. Lay a roasting rack inside baking sheet or on top of pan if it isn't large enough. Place chicken pieces on rack without crowding.
Bake in preheated oven at 350° for 30 - 35 minutes until chicken is cooked through without being dry and coating is browned and crispy.
Allow to rest at least 5 minutes before serving.
If using air fryer, cook at 350° for about 25 minutes. Flip at halfway point if desired.
