Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast fillets
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Optional: fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Cut chicken breast fillets into thin strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk and the egg until well combined.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Dip each chicken strip into the flour mixture first, ensuring it's fully coated.
Next, dip the floured chicken strip into the almond milk and egg mixture.
Finally, coat the chicken strip in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken.
Repeat the process for all chicken strips and set aside on a plate.
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure temperature consistency.
Working in batches, carefully fry the chicken strips in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the cooked chicken fries and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Optional: sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the chicken fries for added flavor and color.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
