Easy Breaded Chicken Recipe

January 11, 2013 by Mom on the Make 3 Comments

Ok, you guys, I have a really easy chicken recipe today that you can use as a base for all sorts of chicken dishes.

I love the taste of homemade breaded chicken.

You know, the kind where you dip the chicken breast manually into flour, then egg, then italian bread crumbs, then you bake it in the oven for awhile until the perfect crispiness is achieved.  The taste comes out quite different than my frozen breaded chicken breasts from Trader Joe’s.

And, that’s saying something.

Because we love our Trader Joe’s frozen breaded chicken a lot.  However, the homemade stuff is just better, as per usual.

With this easy homemade recipe, you can easily make it into chicken parmesan by adding mozzarella cheese on top with marinara sauce.  You can eat it with a side dish of brown rice and veggies.  Or with biscuits and gravy.  The options are endless.

When I made this recipe a few days ago, we enjoyed it with brown rice and carrots.

The key to the flavor of this dish is the addition of a 1/2 cup of canola oil at the bottom of the pan.  It makes the chicken taste not just breaded, but borderline fried.  Think a healthier version of fried chicken.  Really good.

Set up your three bowls of flour, eggs and Italian bread crumbs. I just poured a bit of flour, a bit of bread crumbs and stirred up three eggs in the bowls. I did not measure the flour and bread crumbs.

Dip chicken breast in flour. Roll it around until covered.

After dipping in the eggs, roll chicken breast in the bread crumbs for a nice coating.

After pouring half a cup of canola or vegetable oil in the bottom of a 13×9 baking dish, place in the oven set at 375 for 50 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over after 25 minutes.

    I’m ALWAYS looking for chicken recipes and I really rarely find them. It’s all we eat in our house and I’ve really been getting sick of making the same meals. Thanks!
