Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil
Instructions
- Start by cutting the chicken into evenly sized strips to ensure they cook uniformly. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and set aside.
- Set up three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Dip each chicken strip into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Press lightly to adhere the breadcrumbs well.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the coated chicken strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Lightly spray with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tenders are cooked through and crispy.
Notes
- Use chicken breasts or tenders based on preference; cut into uniform strips for even cooking.
- For gluten-free version, substitute gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs.
- To enhance flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or your favorite herbs to the breadcrumb mixture.
