- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Diet: High-protein, Gluten-Free (variation)
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into thin strips
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs (crushed finely)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Optional: Mild honey mustard or ranch for dipping
Instructions
- Start by setting up your dredging station. Place the flour in one shallow bowl. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. In a third bowl, combine the finely crushed Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 400°F if you prefer baking, or get a large skillet ready for the stovetop.
- Dip each chicken strip into the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, submerge the chicken in the egg wash, then press it firmly into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken strips in the pan, ensuring they do not touch. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. If baking, spray the strips with a little oil and bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for two minutes to keep the juices locked in. Serve the strips on a clean plate with a small side of the preferred dipping sauce. Pair with a familiar side dish like steamed corn or plain pasta to ensure the meal feels safe and approachable for your picky eater.
