  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and bread crumbs in the last.

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Set aside.

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
