Ingredients
Ingredient | Quantity | Notes |
---|---|---|
Chicken breast fillets | 1 pound | Cut into strips |
Breadcrumbs | 1 cup | |
Parmesan cheese | ½ cup | Grated |
Unsalted butter | ¼ cup | Melted |
Garlic | 3 cloves | Minced |
Dried parsley | 1 teaspoon | |
Salt | ½ teaspoon | |
Black pepper | ¼ teaspoon |
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
2. Make the Breading
In a shallow bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper until thoroughly blended.
3. Mix Garlic Butter
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic, stirring well.
4. Coat the Chicken
Dip each chicken strip into the garlic butter mixture, making sure it’s coated on all sides.
Then roll the strip in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help the coating stick well.
5. Arrange and Bake
Place the coated chicken strips on your prepared baking sheet in a single layer with space between each piece.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating turns crisp and golden.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Let the chicken strips cool slightly before serving. They’re perfect on their own or paired with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or garlic aioli.
