Method

Preparation of Chicken Strips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide. Pat the strips dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one shallow bowl, place the flour mixed with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken Strips

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour mixture, coating it thoroughly, then into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour mixture for a second coating. Set aside on a plate.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

  2. 5

    Fry the Chicken Strips

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken strips from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
