Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
1 cup All-purpose flour
2 large Eggs
2 cups Breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Onion powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
As needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is ideal for achieving a crispy texture without frying.
Prepare the chicken by cutting it into strips, about 1 inch wide. This size ensures they cook evenly and remain juicy.
In a shallow bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Dredge each chicken strip in the flour, coating it completely. Shake off excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Lastly, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
Place the breaded chicken strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray lightly with olive oil to enhance crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through.
