Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 large bag or 2 cups Jackson's Ranch or BBQ Chips
  • 1 cup tapioca starch/flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 
  • coconut, avocado or olive cooking spray
  • ranch, bbq sauce or any dipping sauce you like

Instructions

  • Directions
    Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • In a shallow bowl, combine tapioca starch, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Whisk together.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
  • In a food processor, crush the sweet potato chips into fine crumbs and place into a bowl.
  • Take each piece of chicken and coat it evenly with the tapioca starch mixture, ensuring all sides are covered. Shake off any excess.
  • Dip the coated chicken into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it completely.
  • Next add about 10 bites at a time to the ground sweet potato chips, pressing gently to adhere the chips to the chicken. Ensure each piece is evenly coated. Repeat for remaining chicken pieces.
  • Place the coated chicken bites on the baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
  • Lightly spray the tops of the chicken bites with cooking spray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the chicken bites halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
  • Once the chicken bites are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the oven. Serve with ranch, BBQ sauce or any dipping sauce you like!
