Everything Bagel Chicken Breasts
Everything bagel seasoning has pretty much become a mainstay in my seasons of choice. It's consists primarily of garlic, black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds and kosher salt. It's reach has gone far beyond bagels now, and I'm seeing it everywhere from breads and spreads to entrees like this easy chicken.
Helpful Tips for Making Baked Chicken
- The biggest mistake you can make with chicken is over baking which will make it dry. Adjust the baking time depending on the thickness of the chicken you're using. Always look for clear juices or test with a thermometer for an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Like most seasonings, Everything Bagel has varying amounts of sodium. Use a blend you love, and adjust the amount to your taste.
- To prevent the chicken from turning out too salty, use low sodium crushed crackers to add flavor to the breading.
- If you don't have buttermilk, add 1 Tbsp of fresh lemon juice or white distilled vinegar to each cup of whole milk. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes, then proceed.
- Enjoy this chicken with homemade jalapeno ranch dressing, Dr Pepper barbecue sauce or comeback sauce for dipping.

Everything Bagel Chicken Breasts
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 494kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 2 inch strips
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup low sodium cracker crumbs such as Ritz or Club crackers or panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup everything bagel seasoning
- 6 Tbsp butter melted and divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Liberally spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Alternately, fit a rimmed baking sheet with an oven safe rack. Spray with cooking spray.
- Toss chicken pieces with flour and paprika.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg. In a separate dish mix together cracker crumbs with everything bagel seasoning and 2 Tbsp butter.
- Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk allowing excess to drip off. Dredge in crumbs pressing firmly onto each piece.
- Place on rack at least 1 inch apart. Drizzle with remaining melted butter.
- Bake for 25-27 minutes until golden or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and juices run clear. (Adjust time according to size and thickness)
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve.
Notes
- There's a fair amount of sodium in Everything bagel seasoning so, low sodium crackers or non seasoned crumbs work best.
- You may use chicken tenders in place of chicken breasts. This will reduce bake time so, adjust accordingly.
