Delicious, crispy chicken in a spicy red sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, butterflied and pounded to 1/8 inch thick
- 2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 20 grams of NON-kettle-cooked salt & vinegar chips
- 2 tsp. oregano and parsley
- 1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 2/3 cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 4 tbsp. butter, divided into tablespoons
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 cup spicy red sauce
- 2 ounces shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces shredded Fontina cheese
Process
- Cut the butterflied and pounded chicken breasts into 6-8 even chunks. Season liberally with kosher salt, place on a rack, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Combine breadcrumbs, chips, oregano, and garlic powder in a 1-gallon zip-top bag. Crush it into tiny pieces, into a coarse breading.
- Set up your breading station: take three loaf pans. Fill the first with the flour, the second with the beaten eggs, and the third with the crumbs.
- Bread the chicken: take a piece of chicken, dip it in the flour, then coat it with the egg wash and the crumbs. Place the breaded chicken pieces onto your rack.
- Put the rack in the top 1/3 of your oven and crank up the broiler. Do not put the chicken in the oven yet.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium. Once the oil is hot, add half of the chicken, cooking 2 minutes per side. Place the chicken on a clean rack.
- Spread 3/4 cups of red sauce onto a baking dish. Broil it for one minute and 45 seconds.
- Remove the dish, arrange the chicken on the hot sauce in a single layer, and dot with more sauce. Spread the cheese on top.
- Broil the chicken for 2 minutes to get the cheese nice and gooey.
- Garnish the chicken and serve.
