    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    In three separate bowls, place flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, dip in the egg, and then coat in breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is fully covered.

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

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot.
