  • Total Time: 35-40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Slice the chicken into strips. Dip each piece into flour, then egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  4. Arrange the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Use chicken tenders or cut chicken breasts into strips for best results.
  • For extra crispiness, finish in an air fryer for 3-5 minutes.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like honey mustard, ranch, or spicy buffalo.
