Ingredients
Ingredients
boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 (sliced into strips)
white flour
1/4 cup (for dredging)
seasoning
to taste (salt, pepper, herbs, or spices)
egg whites
3 (lightly beaten)
panko breadcrumbs
3-4 cups (for coating)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2
Carefully slice each boneless, skinless chicken breast into even strips for uniform cooking.
3
In a small bowl, season the chicken strips with salt, black pepper, and any additional herbs or spices you prefer.
4
Prepare your breading station by placing the white flour in one dish, lightly beating the egg whites until frothy in another, and spreading the panko breadcrumbs evenly on a large plate.
5
Take each seasoned chicken strip and first dredge it in the flour, ensuring an even coating.
6
Next, dip the floured chicken into the egg whites, allowing any excess to drip off before transferring it to the panko. Coat well by pressing the panko onto the chicken.
7
For an extra crunchy texture, dip the chicken strip back into the egg whites and then once more into the panko breadcrumbs.
8
Place the double-dipped chicken strips onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out for even cooking.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through. To confirm doneness, slice into the thickest strip to check for any pinkness.
10
Once cooked, serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauces or a drizzle of True Lemon Chicken sauce over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
