  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  2. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each chicken strip into the flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.
  4. Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, turning halfway through for even crispiness.
