Chicken Preparation
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide. Place the chicken strips in a bowl and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated, then let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Breading Mixture
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the all-purpose flour in the first, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and mix the breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese and paprika in the third bowl.
Bread the Chicken
Take each marinated chicken strip, first coat it in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each strip is well-coated and set aside on a plate.
Cooking
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers (about 350°F or 175°C).
Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
