Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Cut the chicken breasts into even strips, about 1 inch wide, and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined.
In another shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Set up a dredging station with the chicken strips, egg mixture, and breadcrumb mixture in separate containers.
Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating. Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the chicken strips evenly with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping the strips halfway through, until golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken strips from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, honey mustard, or ranch. Enjoy!
