Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breasts or tenders
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (Panko or regular)
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (for frying or greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking or prepare a frying pan with oil if frying.
Cut the chicken breasts into strips or use chicken tenders as-is.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and ranch seasoning.
Dredge each chicken strip in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the egg mixture and finally coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
If baking, place the breaded chicken strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased wire rack for extra crispiness. Lightly spray or brush them with cooking oil.
Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
If frying, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Fry the chicken strips in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
Serve the crispy Parmesan ranch chicken strips with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
