Crispy butter chicken is an easy oven baked fried chicken with just a few ingredients in 30 minutes that your kids will LOVE!
There’s more than one way to fry a chicken. I’ve done Crispy Fried Chicken, Pioneer Take-Out Fried Chicken and Oven Fried Chicken, and crispy butter chicken is next in line.
CRISPY BUTTER CHICKEN
This is an easy recipe to make on weeknights or when you don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking. Crunchy, crispy and with a rich taste you’d swear comes from a fancy restaurant, butter chicken is sure to be one of your new favorite recipes.
The thing I love about this recipe is the quick and easy dinner it makes. We keep the cracker crumbs ready ahead of time. If you want to crush a box of Ritz crackers ahead of time and keep them in your pantry, this recipe will take you less time to prepare than it takes for your oven to heat up!
I also use 6 ounce chicken breasts for this recipe, so if your chicken is much larger you may need to increase your cooking time. Some grocery stores sell chicken breasts that can weigh over 10 ounces each, so just be aware that you need to cook to doneness versus only following the time listed.
Ingredients
4 chicken breasts (I use boneless skinless)
1 can evaporated milk (any size)
1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup butter
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
1/4 cup water
Preheat oven to 425
Directions First, pour a little of the evaporated milk in a small dish…just enough to dip your chicken in.
After you dip each piece of chicken in the milk, roll it in the flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
Melt butter in 13×9 pan and cook the chicken in the melted butter for 30 minutes at 425.
Mix water, can of soup, and what’s left in your can of evaporated milk together.
Turn chicken over after 30 minutes of baking and pour soup mixture on top.
Bake for 30 more minutes until nice and golden brown.
