Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.
In a shallow bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, rolled oats, ground flaxseed, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until uniform.
Set up a breading station: one bowl with the wet mixture (eggs and milk) and another with the dry mixture (breadcrumb blend).
Dip each chicken strip into the wet mixture, letting excess drip off, then coat in the dry mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Place the breaded chicken strips onto the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the strips to enhance crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken turns golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is!
