Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for drizzling)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment with non-stick cooking spray.
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long, to create dipper-sized pieces.
Set up a breading station: Place the flour in a shallow plate. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined. In a separate shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken strip in the flour, ensuring it’s evenly coated, then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken strip in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Place the coated chicken strips onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching. Drizzle the chicken dippers lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, flipping the chicken strips halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken dippers from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the Crunchy Chicken Dippers with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, barbecue, or ranch, and enjoy!
