Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 pieces Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into strips, approximately 1 inch wide, and set them aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until fully combined.

Step 4

In a third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Dredge the chicken strips first in the flour mixture, then dip them into the egg mixture, and finally coat them in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Fry the chicken strips in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet, for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove them and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

To prepare the honey Dijon mustard dipping sauce, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 9

Serve the chicken fingers warm with the honey Dijon mustard dipping sauce on the side for dipping.
