- 4 cups crushed potato chips (plain or flavored)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and set a wire rack on top.
- Prepare the chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness if needed.
- Set up breading station: Create a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with crushed potato chips mixed with garlic powder, paprika, and pepper.
- Coat the chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in the egg, then press into the crushed chips, coating completely. Place coated chicken on the wire rack.
