Oven "Fried" Chicken

(after looking at the picture, i realized this was a pretty starchy dinner! oops)

Oven "fried" Chicken
  • 1 lb chicken breasts cut into pieces (the recipe calls for 3-4 pounds of chicken pieces, but i'm assuming those are with bone and such, i had boneless c.b. so that's what i used:)
  • 1 large egg (or 2 T dry egg powder and 1/4 C water)
  • 2 T milk (or 1 t dry powdered milk and 2 T water)
  • potato FLAKES for coating
  • 1/4 C (1/2 stick of butter)
  1. preheat oven to 425 F
  2. mix egg and milk together
  3. spread 2 T of butter on a pan or casserole dish with at least a 1 inch lip.
  4. dip chicken in mixture then dredge in potato flakes and place in pan.
  5. bake for 25 minutes, flip chicken then bake 20-25 more minutes. (this is for bone in, about 15-20 per side for boneless skinless chicken breasts)
  6. sprinkle with salt and pepper as the pan comes out of the oven. 
  7. serves 4-6
Potatos (i never measure stuff for my potatoes.... sorry)
  • about 2 pounds of red potatoes cut into small bite size pieces
  • EVOO
  • salt and pepper
  • your choice of seasoning... we really enjoy rosemary.
  1. mix evoo and spices together
  2. toss over potatos
  3. cook at 425 for about an hour, till soft, tender, and crispy on top :) (hint on potatoes, you can shorten your cooking time by "steaming" the potatoes in the microwave for a little while to "pre-cook" the taters... unfortunately ours died tonight while making the corn :( 
Bread
this is the same bread recipe used here


REVIEW
This got  TWO thumbs up from everyone at the table, EVEN my picky eater... (he's behind the flowers) everyone's plates were completely clean when we finished.  This has kind of a chick filet texture to it.  I think i may try doing little nugget sized chicken pieces next time. :) Brad even said this a DEFINITE repeat! (yeah for food storage :)
