ingredients
Steps
Preparation
Cut the chicken breast fillet into strips about 1-1.5 cm (0.4-0.6 inches) thick. Prepare three deep plates: in the first, place the flour; in the second, the beaten eggs; and in the third, mix the Panko breadcrumbs with the grated cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Breading
Dredge the chicken strips first in the flour, then dip them into the beaten egg, and finally coat them thoroughly in the cheesy Panko mixture, ensuring they are fully covered. Press the breading firmly to ensure it adheres well.
Frying
Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, place the breaded chicken strips into the pan. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
Serving
Remove the cooked chicken strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with a fresh salad, mashed potatoes, french fries, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Extra Tips
► For an even crispier result, use Panko breadcrumbs, as they provide a much airier and crunchier texture.
► Do not overcrowd the pan while frying; instead, fry the chicken strips in batches to ensure even browning.
► Before serving, blot off any excess oil with paper towels to keep them extra crispy.
