In three separate shallow bowls, prepare the breading station. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the bread crumbs, garlic powder, paprika, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Coat the Chicken Strips
Dredge each chicken strip first in the flour, shaking off excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing slightly to ensure the crumbs adhere well.

Fry the Chicken Fingers
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded chicken strips in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
