Cheap as Chips – Chips Chicken!

Cheap as Chips, but so rich in flavor!
Years ago, Chips Chicken was such a fad, everyone made it together with cute little chips sandwiches and chips rolls. I think it was popular because it was a place where mothers and children agreed. Mothers who tried to feed their children a healthy diet and children who only wanted to eat junk food. Healthy, definitely not, but delicious none the less and with a cheese sauce to boot, Chips Chicken is still a firm favorite even after all these years.
You will not believe that 5 ingredients and so little time can result in such flavor and popularity, but try this easy recipe and you will be ever so popular with dad and the kiddos…
Chips Chicken
Ingredients
6 chicken fillets with skin ( the skin prevents the chicken from drying in the oven)
1 x 125 g Cheese and Onion Chips
1 egg – beaten with a little milk
125 ml flour
1 t barbecue spice
Method
Place the chips in a plastic bag and with a rolling pin, bash the chips until it becomes course crumbs. Place in a plate. Beat the egg and milk together and place in another bowl and lastly mix the flour and the seasoning and place in a 3rd bowl. Place a chicken breast between 2 layers of plastic and with a meat mallet, lightly beat the chicken to make a “schnitzel”. Repeat with all the chicken breasts. Now one-by-one dip the chicken first into the flour, shake off the excess flour, then into the egg mixture and lastly into the crumbs. Repeat with all the chicken. Place on a baling sheet and allow to set in the fridge for about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 180C. Bake the chicken in the oven for about 20 minutes.
Smother in a velvety Cheese sauce to make it even better!

I’ve made it with bacon kips / mini cheddars (bacon flavour) instead of chips – also very yum! Try it!
