Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a third dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs, paprika, and garlic powder. Add Parmesan if using.

Dredge each chicken strip in the seasoned flour, tapping off excess.

Dip the floured strip into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off.

Coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help adhesion.
