This Potato Chip Chicken with Creamy Honey Dijon Sauce is an easy 30-minute meal that the whole family will love! Tender, juicy chicken cutlets crusted in a simple potato chip crust and topped with a dreamy honey dijon sauce! So simple but so delicious.
I have the easiest, most delish dinner to tell you about today.
This Potato Chip Chicken with Creamy Honey Dijon Sauce has been a huge hit in my house! It is picky-eater approved, which is always a huge victory in my book.
Not only do my kids love it, but I love how freaking simple it is to make and how it comes together in just about 30 minutes. These are the best kind of weeknight meals.
It also just tastes really good. Like, SO good. And it’s only got a handful of ingredients!
The chicken stays juicy due to the thinner nature of the cutlets (quicker cooking time = less time to dry out), and the potato chip crust is DIVINE. The sauce drizzled over top really sends this one into the incredible category.
We make this with plain potato chips (one of the few flavors approved by my whole household), but I imagine that flavored potato chips would be SO good here. Sour cream and onion? YES. BBQ? YES. Salt and vinegar? OH YES.
The possibilities are as endless as the grocery store chip aisle!
Ingredients You Need to Make This Potato Chip Chicken with Creamy Honey Dijon Sauce:
For the Chicken:

For the Honey Dijon Sauce:
- Plain Greek yogurt
- Mayo
- Dijon mustard

How to Make This Potato Chip Chicken with Creamy Honey Dijon Sauce:
For the Chicken:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (optional – just makes clean up easier).
- Place the chicken cutlets in an even layer on the baking sheet and season with garlic salt and pepper.
- Spread a thin layer of the mayo on top of each cutlet.
- Top the mayo with the crushed potato chips, gently pressing them in so they adhere.
- Bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the potato chip topping is lightly golden.
For the Sauce:
- While the chicken is baking, make the sauce by whisking together all the ingredients in a bowl. If it is very thick, thin with a teaspoon or two of water, whisking well to incorporate. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
To Serve:
- On each serving of chicken, drizzle some of the honey dijon sauce – use as much or as little as you like. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.

Notes
To crush the potato chips, I place a few handfuls in a large resealable plastic bag and use my hands to break them up until I get the size crumb I want. You could also use a food processor if you want a really fine crumb.
