Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Set Up Breading Stations
In a shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Cooking
- 3
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it with the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. You can test the oil's readiness by dropping a small piece of bread in; it should sizzle.

Fry the Chicken Tenders
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
