Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Chickpea flour
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 cup Cooking oil, for frying
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips about half an inch wide.
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to blend the flavors.
Add the chicken strips to the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
In another bowl, mix the chickpea flour, breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese together.
Remove the marinated chicken strips from the fridge. One by one, dredge each strip in the chickpea flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the coated chicken strips in the oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken strips from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce and enjoy your crispy, high-protein chicken strips.
