For this recipe, using a Ziplock bag is the easiest way of "shaking" or mixing the chicken with the bread crumb mix. I didn't have one, so I used a bowl with a plate on top to shake it up.
What you'll need:
3-4 chicken breasts, split in half to become cutlet style (or just use cutlets)
1 cup gf bread crumbs (I use Hannaford since they're a steal at under $3 a bag, but you can experiment with what brand you like best)
1/4 cup potato flour (use whatever gf you'd like, I had potato, so I used that. Rice flour works well too)
1/2 tsp paprika
salt and pepper to taste (the corn breadcrumbs and not salty, so I add a bit more salt to this blend)
Rinse the chicken with cold water. Pat dry so the breading stays on better. Place it all in a bowl and top with the rest of the ingredients.
Coat the chicken and brown in a little oil. These breadcrumbs are corn based, so I find corn oil works best with it. You can use vegetable, corn, olive, or whatever you have on hand. You may find you like a particular one better, so play around with it. Brown for a minute or two on each side and place on a lightly sprayed cookie sheet. Bake for 25 minutes or so (until fully cooked) on a preheated 350 degree oven.
Variations to try:
-add a little Parmesan cheese to the bread crumb mixture
-to make Italian style, add basil, oregano and parsley to the mix and omit the paprika
-top with sliced cheese and melt to make chicken sandwiches
-for Chicken Parm, add some spaghetti sauce and provolone and bake until melted
-use as the chicken in chicken Alfredo (my favorite)
-for a slightly healthier version, skip browning and bake a little longer
Enjoy!
oh, and if you have a little helper, snap a cute picture of them :)
