A couple of weeks ago, Shawnda from Confections of a Foodie Bride was having a giveaway for Jennifer Chandler’s Simply Suppers cookbook and guess what… I won! I was so happy to win this cookbook because who wouldn’t love more delicious recipes that are easy to make and are perfect for a weeknight meal?! This cookbook has loads of beautiful dishes that are simple and require few ingredients. I love recipes like that especially for weeknight meals. The first recipe I tried was for the Rosemary & Potato Chip Chicken Tenders. These tenders came out tasting fantastic and were extremely easy. To make the recipe a bit more healthy, I baked my tenders instead of frying them and I used low-salt potato chips instead of the full-on salted ones. I added some fresh rosemary as well since I love the rosemary-and-potato combo. I accompanied them with some sweet potato fries. They came out tasting great – definitely give this recipe a try!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup flour
- Sea salt and fresh ground pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 bag (11 oz) potato chips, crushed
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken tenderloins
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
- Place the flour in a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Place the beaten eggs in another small bowl. Leave the crushed potato chips in the bag.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season each side with salt and pepper. Dredge both sides of a tenderloin in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip the tenderloin into the egg wash and allow the excess to drip off. Dredge the tenderloin into the crushed potato chip bag, coating both sides. Place the tenderloin on the baking sheet and repeat this step until all tenderloins are coated with potato chips.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
- Serve with honey mustard, BBQ sauce, or my hubby’s favorite, ranch dressing.

Looks interesting, must try this, at least it’ll be a better substitute for the MSG laden potato chips at the stores.. =)
What an interesting combination! I’ll have to try this with tofu to make them nice and crispy!
What a fun dinner idea! Love that you added rosemary and a side of sweet potato fries sounds perfect!
Wow! Great recipe! Love chicken. Will have to your recipe. Thanks for sharing.
At first I was not sure what to think of this, but then I realized that I really enjoy rosemary flavored potato chipes. So these must be good too! I am now completely on board with trying this. A great new creation!
What a lovely idea..I love it! Awesome pictures and amazing recipe!
Thanks you for sharing, and have a wonderful weekend!
What an interesting recipe. I’d try it.
Potato chips! I can totally use those leftover potato chips in the pantry as we never finish one bag of potato chips. This recipe is so perfect for my family. And adding rosemary is a great idea as it sounds like very refreshing and making us feel better eating oily potato chips. Haha. I’m going to cook this!
This is a great idea! I love baked chicken tenders at home. And a great idea to use baked chips! I am going to have to try this for sure. My son will love to help cook these with me!
I saw something similar on Top Chef a while ago and thought that I was going to make it asap, but I totally forgot about it! Now you’ve reminded me…thank you!! I love the potato chip idea!
I like my chicken tenders with ranch dressing too 🙂 I bet it pairs deliciously with the potato chips. This looks kid and adult friendly…double win!
Wow this look like an amazing recipe! I love the color and the texture of your chicken! My family will love it 🙂
I always roast potato wedges with rosemary as it gives fantastic aroma. I like the addition of chicken in here and putting this recipe on my never ending to do list 🙂
Wow… potato chips! I love it. My kids will love it too. Thanks for sharing this recipe. : )
