BBQ Potato Chips Chicken Tenders are a really easy dinner recipe idea that can be made in 30 minutes or less. Each chicken tender is dredged nicely in Greek yogurt (or sour cream) and coated with Barbecue potato chips. They are nicely baked until crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

Serve them with a side of extra barbecue sauce or some ranch dressing for dipping, and alongside some McCain® Potato, Broccoli & Cheddar Veggie Taters™.

Easy baked chicken recipes are some of my favorite fall go-to meals. I love how versatile chicken is and how easy it is to prepare.

Our family loves chicken so many different ways too which makes dinner easy, peasy on most nights.

One of my favorite chicken recipes that I made years ago was potato chip chicken. I coated chicken breasts in kettle style chips with a blend of seasonings and my family loved it.

These days, I have expanded my chip coatings for chicken to include everything from nacho chips, to corn flakes and more!

Potato Chip Chicken Ingredients

For these BBQ potato chip chicken tenders, I used the following common ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken tenders
• 2 cups finely crushed BBQ potato chips
• 1 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt (you can swap for sour cream)
• Spices-1/4 tsp each of crushed black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, to season chicken.

How to Make Potato Chip Chicken

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with foil and then place a baking rack over the foil. You are creating a nice ventilation system so the chicken does not get soggy and baked evenly and crispy. This will prevent the bottoms from becoming soggy.

Add your 2 cups of BBQ potato chips to a large storage bag. Try to remove all the air and then seal it.

Using a rolling pin or large bottle, gently roll over your chips to make fine crumbs. It is ok if they are not too fine. A little texture it ok!

Pour crumbs into a shallow dish.

Add spices and Greek Yogurt to a shallow dish and mix thoroughly.

In a medium-sized bowl, dredge chicken in Greek yogurt and spices. Be sure to coat all sides.

Carefully coat each chicken tender with chips and place each coated strip on your baking rack.

Repeat until each strip is fully coated.

Place chicken in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees f.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. For us, it was ranch & BBQ sauces.

What to Pair with BBQ Potato Chip Chicken Tender

I thought this quick chicken dinner would be perfect to pair with an equally quick and delicious side which happens to be McCain® Potato, Broccoli & Cheddar Veggie Taters™.

Normally, I would pair an easy dinner like this with instant mashed potatoes, oven-baked fries, or rice.

McCain® Potato, Broccoli & Cheddar Veggie Taters™ are a fun & playful way to sneak more veggies onto my kids plates.

We have bought several boxes of these potato-based tater tots that contain combinations of vegetables and cheeses to give them delicious flavor.

After trying a few different varieties, our personal favorites are the McCain® Veggie Taters™ in Potato, Broccoli, & Cheddar. They have no artificial ingredients and sneak those sometimes unwanted (by my kids) veggies onto my kids plates.

They are so easy to bake up and make a tasty side dish, or snack for hungry little bellies.
