Chicken Strips

Breading

Dipping Sauce

Method

Prepare Chicken

  1. 1

    Cut Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips, approximately 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Season Chicken

    In a bowl, mix salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Season the chicken strips evenly with this mixture.

Prepare Breading Station

  1. 3

    Set Up Three Bowls

    In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, paprika, and Parmesan cheese in the third bowl.

Bread the Chicken

  1. 4

    Coat Chicken

    Take each chicken strip and coat it with flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, and then into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry Chicken

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

  2. 6

    Fry Chicken Strips

    Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 7

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken strips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve

  1. 8

    Plating

    Serve the hand-breaded chicken strips hot with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
