Steps:
- 1. 1. Preheat the oven to 225°. In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the chile powder, five-spice powder, lemon zest, pepper and a generous pinch of salt. Add the chicken and turn to coat. 2. Spread the potato chips on a sheet of wax paper. Coat the chicken with the crumbs, pressing to help them adhere. 3. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet. When the foam subsides, add one-third of the chicken cutlets and cook over moderately high heat, turning once, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.

POTATO CHIP CHICKEN
My mom used to make this all the time when I was a kid. She'd save the crumbs left at the end of every bag of Lays potato chips until she had enough to make this. This is such a fun way to eat chicken! The quantities here are approximate, to give you an idea.

POTATO CHIP CRUSTED CHICKEN
A heart healthier, yet flavorful and scrumptious version by chef and author Devin Alexander. Initially, I was skeptical this could taste good being that a) it's coated with Baked Ruffles, and b) it's baked. But one bite of these, and I had a whole paradigm shift about how tasty healthy cooking can be. Hopefully you'll find that this is a keeper just as I have.
