  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
  2. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dip each chicken strip first into flour, then into eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
