Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into strips about 0.4 inch wide
- 1/3 cup plain flour
- 2 eggs large; beaten
- 3.5 ounces panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup vegetable oil or as needed for frying
Instructions
- Combine the paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips about 0.4 inch wide. Put them in a large bowl and mix with half the seasoning.
- Put the beaten eggs in one shallow dish. In another, combine the panko, Parmesan and remaining seasoning. Set out a large baking tray for the coated strips.
- Mix the flour into the seasoned chicken until coated. Dip each strip in egg, coat it thoroughly in the panko mixture and place it on the tray.
- Pour enough vegetable oil into a large pan to cover its base and heat over medium-high heat to about 350°F. Space out the strips in batches and fry for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. Bring the oil back to temperature between batches as needed.
- Check that the chicken reaches 165°F with a food thermometer before taking it off the heat. Drain on paper towels and serve with a favorite dip.
Notes
Most of the frying oil stays in the pan, so it is not counted in the nutrition; the real figures are somewhat higher. Air fryer option: 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, sprayed with oil.
