Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Slice the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch thick and 4 inches long to create the 'fingers.' Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes: one with the all-purpose flour mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika; a second with the eggs whisked together; and a third with a mixture of the Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs.
Coat each chicken strip in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally press it firmly into the Parmesan-panko mixture. Ensure the chicken finger is fully coated on all sides.
Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the chicken fingers for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping the chicken fingers halfway through, until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken fingers from the oven and let them cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as marinara, ranch, or honey mustard.
