Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Slice the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch thick and 4 inches long to create the 'fingers.' Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes: one with the all-purpose flour mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika; a second with the eggs whisked together; and a third with a mixture of the Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Coat each chicken strip in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally press it firmly into the Parmesan-panko mixture. Ensure the chicken finger is fully coated on all sides.

Step 5

Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.

Step 6

Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the chicken fingers for extra crispiness.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping the chicken fingers halfway through, until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the chicken fingers from the oven and let them cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as marinara, ranch, or honey mustard.
