Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoons Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Slice the chicken breasts into evenly sized strips, approximately 1 inch wide.
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and water until fully combined.
In a third shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, dried parsley, and paprika.
Dredge each chicken strip in the flour mixture first, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
Finally, coat the chicken strip in the breadcrumb-parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to the chicken.
Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken strips with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake the chicken strips in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Flip the strips halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken strips rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, honey mustard, or marinara.
