Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut chicken breasts into strips and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three shallow bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and bread crumbs in the third.

  3. 3

    Dredge each chicken strip first in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

  4. 4
