Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide, to create finger-sized pieces.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Coat each chicken strip in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally press it into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture. Ensure each strip is fully and evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken fingers onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Lightly spray the chicken fingers with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through cooking. The chicken fingers should be golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch, honey mustard, or marinara for a delicious meal or snack!
