Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- Olive oil spray
- 2 tablespoons Optional: fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut each chicken breast into thin strips approximately 1 inch wide.
Set up a breading station: use three shallow dishes. Place gluten-free flour in the first dish. In the second dish, beat the eggs. In the third dish, combine gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken strip in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten egg, allowing any excess egg to drip off, and finally coat it well with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs into the chicken to adhere.
Arrange the breaded chicken sticks on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray them with olive oil.
Bake the chicken sticks in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until they are golden-brown and the chicken is cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Optionally, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a burst of flavor.
