Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Chickpea flour
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 cup Cooking oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips about half an inch wide.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to blend the flavors.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix the chickpea flour, breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese together.

Step 5

Remove the marinated chicken strips from the fridge. One by one, dredge each strip in the chickpea flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Carefully place the coated chicken strips in the oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the chicken strips from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce and enjoy your crispy, high-protein chicken strips.
