Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 pieces eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cups plain breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with olive oil or cooking spray.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide. Set aside.
Set up your dredging station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
One at a time, coat each chicken strip with flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the floured chicken strip into the egg mixture, then coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture. Place the coated chicken strip onto the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the dredging process for all chicken strips, arranging them in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding.
Spray or drizzle a light layer of olive oil over the coated chicken strips to ensure a crispier texture while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, flipping the strips halfway through cooking to ensure both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chicken strips from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, honey mustard, or marinara.
