Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast fillets
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Optional: fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Cut chicken breast fillets into thin strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk and the egg until well combined.

Step 4

Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Step 5

Dip each chicken strip into the flour mixture first, ensuring it's fully coated.

Step 6

Next, dip the floured chicken strip into the almond milk and egg mixture.

Step 7

Finally, coat the chicken strip in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken.

Step 8

Repeat the process for all chicken strips and set aside on a plate.

Step 9

Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure temperature consistency.

Step 10

Working in batches, carefully fry the chicken strips in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove the cooked chicken fries and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 12

Optional: sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the chicken fries for added flavor and color.

Step 13

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
