Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0 cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Prepare the chicken by slicing the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 5

Dip each chicken strip first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated, then transfer to the breadcrumb mixture. Press the mixture onto the chicken to ensure it sticks and forms a good crust.

Step 6

Place the coated chicken strips onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that they are not touching each other.

Step 7

Lightly spray the top of the chicken strips with cooking spray to encourage browning and crispiness.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. You can check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the crispy baked chicken strips with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is!
