Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, rolled oats, ground flaxseed, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until uniform.
Step 5
Set up a breading station: one bowl with the wet mixture (eggs and milk) and another with the dry mixture (breadcrumb blend).
Step 6
Dip each chicken strip into the wet mixture, letting excess drip off, then coat in the dry mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Step 7
Place the breaded chicken strips onto the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray.
Step 8
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the strips to enhance crispiness.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken turns golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is!
