Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.

Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, prepare your breading station. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.

Bread the Chicken Strips
Take each chicken strip and first dip it into the flour, shaking off excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the panko breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the Chicken Fingers
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken strips in batches, without overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
