Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breast
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 large egg
  • 4 cups frozen french fries
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the 4 cups frozen fries on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, about 20 minutes, shaking halfway.

  2. 2

    While fries bake, slice 2 large chicken breasts horizontally into thin cutlets. Beat 2 eggs in a shallow dish and place 1 cup breadcrumbs on a plate.

  3. 3

    Dip each cutlet in egg, then press into breadcrumbs to coat evenly. Heat a large skillet over medium-high with a thin layer of oil.

  4. 4

    Cook the breaded chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. The chicken should feel firm and juices run clear.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, mix 0.5 cup mayonnaise with 0.25 cup chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon if you have it. Serve chicken and fries with the green sauce on the side.
