Ingredients
- 2 Pounds Boneless Chicken Breasts cut into strips
- ¼ cup Unsalted Butter
For the Egg Wash:
- 2 Large Eggs
- ½ cup Milk
For the Batter:
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
- 1 Tablespoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and ½ cup milk.
- In a separate bowl, stir together 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 cup panko bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon salt, 2 teaspoons paprika, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Coat 2 pounds boneless chicken breasts cut into strips in the egg mixture. Then coat the chicken strips in the batter, making sure each piece is well coated. Continue this process until all the chicken has been coated.
- Cut ¼ cup unsalted butter into small pieces and place it on a ribbed baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven to heat up the pan and melt the butter.
- Carefully place the coated chicken strips on the hot pan, making sure to leave space between each strip.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken strips and bake for 8-10 more minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165 degrees F) and the coating on the chicken is browned.
- Remove the chicken from the oven. Let it rest for 10 minutes and then it’s ready to serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Notes
Use an instant read meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature.
I use baking powder in the batter as I find it makes the batter crisper. You can easily omit it from the recipe. The chicken will still be good, the coating will not be as crispy.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Reheat in the oven or in an air fryer so that the leftovers are crispy when serving.
