Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 cup Plain breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide.
In a bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Add cornstarch to another separate bowl. In a third bowl, lightly beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water.
Mix breadcrumbs with the spice mixture in a fourth bowl.
Dredge each chicken strip first in the cornstarch, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each piece is thoroughly covered.
Arrange the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly drizzle or brush the tops with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the chicken pieces. Drizzle or brush again with olive oil and continue baking for another 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
