Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts into 3-inch strips.
- Step 2: In a shallow bowl, mix 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp paprika until combined.
- Step 3: Place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in another shallow bowl. In a third bowl, beat 2 large eggs until smooth.
- Step 4: Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated strips on the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 5: Lightly spray the chicken strips with olive oil spray to help them crisp up.
- Step 6: Bake for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crunchy.
