CHICKEN AND CHIPS

Have you ever wondered what to do with the handful of broken potato chips that are in the bottom of the bag?  You don't want to throw them out - you love them - But, you really can't eat them ... they are just too small.

How about making chicken strips coated with them?  You already love the flavor of chips so let's pair them with a chicken breast cut into strips and quick fry them in a small amount of butter.  No extra seasoning is necessary.


Delicious!



INGREDIENTS:

- One chicken breast cut in half (like butterfly wings) and then cut into finger like strips.
- The remains of your favorite bag of chips (if the pieces are too big, crush them while they are still in the bag.
- Vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS:

- Put about a Tbsp. of oil in your heavy skillet to heat.

- After cutting up the chicken breast, wash it and dry it with paper towels.

- Drop the pieces of chicken in the potato chip bag, close the top of the bag and shake the chicken (remember Shake n Bake?) to coat the pieces.  (Be sure to throw the bag away after using it - even if all the pieces are not used up.  This is a one time use thing.)

- Remove the chicken from the bag one piece at a time and put them in the hot, oiled skillet.

- Cook over a medium/high heat until golden brown.

While the chicken is browning, fix your favorite side dish and a salad.  Your meal is ready to enjoy.

Experiment with different flavors of chips.  You'll be surprised at how different the chicken tastes.

Enjoy!
