I have to say that I believe the resurgence of fast food chicken fries hasn’t been so great. I tasted them. I remember I use to love chicken fries. I’m not sure how much the quality and recipe changed in the last 6 or 7 years since I had them but yuck! They were not so good. In fact, after having homemade chicken fries I am not sure how those drive thru chicken fries can qualify as chicken at all. Plus the amount of fat and sodium they held was not so pleasant. Homemade chicken fries are fast, easy, and most of all, healthy.

I used Food Should Taste Good sweet potato tortilla chips as the base of my breading. Gluten-free, egg-free, nut-free, and dairy-free, they are the perfect breading medium, adding a bit of crunch and a lot of flavor without bothering most allergies or intolerances. The fact that they are Non-GMO verified is the icing on the proverbial cake, or rather, breading on the chicken. They are quite simple to pull together and are perfect for kids and adults alike. Whether they are a main entree or a party appetizer, everyone will love them.

I started with boneless skinless chicken breast, and cut it into 1/4 inch thick strips, skipping the traditional egg batter and breading the strips with sweet potato chips and a simple blend of staple herbs and spices that I put in the food processor until it was a fine crumb mixture.  You could totally make these ahead of time and freeze them to reheat for an even quicker meal that would fit nicely into these fast food meals from the grocery store. With just a little olive oil on the pan so they don’t stick, these baked chicken fries hit the spot without any one feeling that junky post fast food feeling.
