Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Cut the chicken breasts into evenly sized strips, roughly 1 inch wide, for even cooking.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken strip in the flour, ensuring it is lightly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Press the chicken strip into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated on all sides. Repeat these steps with all remaining chicken strips.
Place the breaded chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
Lightly spray or drizzle the top of the chicken strips with olive oil to help them achieve a golden, crispy finish.
Bake the chicken strips in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure both sides are crispy and cooked through.
Remove the chicken strips from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as marinara, ranch, or honey mustard.
