Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 chicken fillets
- 5 potatoes
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup Parmesan, grated
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Salt
- Chives
- Dill
- Garlic
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Vegetable fat for frying
- Ketchup for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal chicken preparation.
- Pat chicken fillets dry and trim edges to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
- Create a marinade by whisking soy sauce and olive oil, then immerse chicken fillets for 30 minutes to enhance flavor absorption.
- Prepare two separate coating stations: one with beaten eggs and another with a mixture of Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Dredge each chicken fillet first through egg mixture, then generously coat with the Parmesan-breadcrumb blend, ensuring complete coverage.
- Arrange coated chicken on prepared baking sheet, maintaining space between pieces for even heat circulation.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 74°C, indicating thorough cooking.
- While chicken bakes, prepare potato fries by cutting into uniform sticks and soaking in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain potato sticks thoroughly, then dust with cornstarch for extra crispiness.
- Heat vegetable fat to 180°C and fry potato sticks for 4-6 minutes until achieving a crisp, golden exterior.
- Season hot fries immediately with salt, chives, dill, and garlic for maximum flavor retention.
- Plate crispy Parmesan chicken alongside seasoned fries, serving with ketchup for a complementary dipping experience.
Notes
- Marinate chicken for maximum flavor absorption by letting it sit in soy sauce and olive oil mixture for the full 30 minutes.
- Pat chicken and potatoes completely dry before coating to ensure extra crispy exterior and prevent sogginess during cooking.
- For gluten-free option, replace breadcrumbs with crushed almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs to maintain similar crispy texture.
- Use a meat thermometer to check chicken’s internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F) for safe and perfectly cooked protein without drying out.
