Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
Cut the chicken breasts into thin, even strips, roughly 1 inch wide.
In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat panko breadcrumbs, crushed fiber-rich cereal, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the breading mixture.
In a separate shallow dish, whisk the egg whites until frothy.
Dip each chicken strip into the egg whites, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the breading mixture. Press the breading onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well.
Place the breaded chicken strips onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to ensure even cooking.
Once all the chicken strips are coated, lightly spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake the chicken strips in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad, if desired.
