Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts into 1/2-inch thick strips.
  2. Step 2: In a shallow bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in another bowl. In a third bowl, beat 2 large eggs.
  4. Step 4: Dredge each chicken strip first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with the panko-Parmesan mixture.
  5. Step 5: Arrange the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle evenly with 2 tbsp olive oil. Bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Step 6: Meanwhile, grate 1 medium carrot finely. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 tbsp honey, and the grated carrot. Simmer gently for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and the carrot softens.
  7. Step 7: Serve the baked chicken strips hot with the carrot-enriched ketchup on the side for dipping.
