Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast fillets
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Whole wheat flour
- 3 whole Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breast fillets into strips, approximately 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the whole wheat flour in a separate shallow dish.
In a third shallow dish, lightly beat the egg whites until frothy.
Dredge each chicken strip in whole wheat flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured chicken strip into the egg whites, ensuring it is fully coated.
Roll the chicken strip in the panko breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the crumbs adhere well.
Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the chicken strips with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the coating is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken strips halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve these crispy chicken sticks with your favorite low-fat dipping sauce or a side of salad for a complete meal.
