Juicy and tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside. So easy to make and baked in the oven instead of fried.

Ingredients

  • lbs Boneless Chicken Breasts trimmed and cut into about 3 strips each
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tsp Onion Powder
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 Tbsp Avocado or Olive oil
  • ½ Cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
  • ½ Tbsp Dried Parsley or Oregano

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl whisk milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add in the chicken breast strips and allow it to soak for at least 1 hour, or overnight if time allows. 
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Drizzle avocado oil onto the bottom of the pan and spread it all over until there are no dry spots.
  • Add panko garlic powder, smoked paprika, parsley/oregano, salt and pepper in a large Ziploc bag.
  • Drain the chicken, and add it to the Ziploc bag, shaking well to evenly coat. Place coated chicken strips onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space in between.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping it halfway.
  • Serve immediately with the desired healthy side and dip. Enjoy!
