Start by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 1.5cm wide.
In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with half the salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk until combined.
In a third bowl, combine the bread crumbs with grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Dredge each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly.
Dip the floured chicken strips into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Finally, coat the chicken strips in the bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the breading adheres well.
Place the coated chicken sticks on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
When the oven is ready, drizzle the olive oil evenly over the chicken sticks.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken sticks are golden brown and fully cooked through, flipping halfway for even crispiness.
Once cooked, let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the crispy chicken sticks with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
