Ingredients

  • 2 pieces chicken breast
  • 2 cups frozen french fries
  • 1 package instant yellow rice
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the 1 package instant yellow rice according to package directions, about 15 minutes, until fluffy and tender.

  2. 2

    While rice cooks, bake the 2 cups frozen fries at 425°F for 18-20 minutes, until golden and crispy.

  3. 3

    Beat the 1 egg in a shallow bowl. Dip each of the 2 chicken breasts in the egg, then coat with the 1 cup breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).

  5. 5
