    Potato Chip Chicken Strips Recipe

    Better. The best chicken strips I’ve ever made…maybe!?

    These homemade chicken strips are so, so, so, so much better than other chicken strips. I think it’s the combination of the salty potato chips with the sour cream and paprika based dipping process.

    Oh, and the fact that the kids made these completely on their own. My oldest son is 10 years old and I’m really working hard to get him to learn some basic skills and tasks in the kitchen.

    What better recipe/meal to have him help out with than his beloved chicken strips.

    He also declared these better than other chicken strips!

    I set up all the ‘dipping stations’ while he watched and I talked him through the process. He also crushed the potato chips and got them ready for their stations. We walked through it like this…

    • Chicken strips (I used thin chicken breasts from the store and cut them lengthwise in half. You could also use chicken tenderloins.)
    • Dip in sour cream-egg mixture.
    • Dip and roll in the potato chips.
    • Place in the baking dish.

    I demonstrated the first one and he did the rest. It warms my heart knowing that my boys will at least know how to make their own meals when they are older!
