Cooking Instructions
- 1

Start by cutting the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide.

Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in the first dish, whisk the eggs in the second dish, and combine the breadcrumbs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third dish.

Bread the Chicken
Take each chicken strip and coat it in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until well covered.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, it’s ready.

Cook the Chicken Tenders
