In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.

Step 4
In a third shallow dish, beat the eggs and milk together until well combined.
Step 5
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 6
Dip the floured chicken pieces into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
