Crispy Cheddar Chicken
Say goodbye to boring chicken dinners and make this Crispy Cheddar Chicken instead tonigjt!
Equipment
- Food Processor or Blender
Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Breasts
- 1 C Gluten-free Bread Crumbs
- ½ C Gluten-free All-purpose flour
- 8 Oz Cheddar Cheese
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoon Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 TSP Pepper
- Oil for Frying
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken. I like to make sure the chicken is about ¼ inch thick so it cooks evenly and quick in the skillet.
- Combine the breadcrumbs, flour, cheddar cheese and spices into a food processor blender and pulse until combined. The mixture should look like one and you should not be able to see large pieces of any one ingredient when it is done.
- In a shallow dish mix the eggs, adding a bit of water if desired and place the coating mixture into another shallow dish.
- Dredge the chicken pieces into the eggs and then into the coating mixture and set aside while you coat the rest of the chicken.
- In a skillet warm a few tablespoons of light cooking oil, over medium-high heat i prefer avocado oil.
- Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until the chicken is cooked throuh and the ouside is golden.
- If you prefer to cook this in the oven place the chicken onto a paking sheet and cook it in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve it alongside your favorites sides and enjoy.
Notes
Chicken: I like to use thin chicken breasts for this recipe because I find they cook faster and more evenly. If you have thicker breasts, feel free to slice them thinner to pound them out until they are about ¼ inch thick.
Coating: Use a food processor or blender to make the coating. You want it to look like one mixture. This helps it stick to the chicken better without the cheese melting out the crust and off of the chicken.
Can you skip the flour? The short answer is no it acts like a binding element in the coating bringing the breadcrumbs and the cheese together.
