Summer Lovin'

Well life has been so hectic lately! Spring seems like it's always just out of reach here in the Northeast, but we've had a taste here and there! Not so much today - it's pouring rain and there is ice gathering on the trees! YUCK! I'm ready for summer sunshine and pool time!

Thinking about summer gets me thinking about recipes that I want to revive! This is not the most healthy recipe, but it's delicious as a meal or an appetizer! Plus you can pair it with a delicious potato salad! I'll post the recipe for later!

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 bag BBQ potato chips of your choice (the 9.5oz bags work best, but you could get away with a smaller bag)
1 egg
2 Tbsp water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and set aside. In a large cereal bowl whisk egg with water until combined and frothy. Dump BBQ potato chips into reseal-able plastic bag and crush into small pieces.

Starting with 4-5 pieces of chicken, dunk into egg mixture until coated then drop into reseal-able bag and use hands to press crushed chips into chicken. Place on baking sheet or baking stone then repeat with remaining chicken until all pieces are coated. You will have some crushed chips remaining in the bag. Sprinkle over chicken before baking.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in centers. Serve with BBQ sauce or Ranch dressing for dipping.

Here's a photo of the uncooked chicken bites on my well used baking stone! The chicken isn't completely coated with the chips, but that's okay. They bake up nice and crisp and the chicken is so juicy! 

I'm not sure why, but this recipe just makes me think of summer! The potato salad that goes with it is divine as well! I'll get that posted in a couple of days!
