1/2 teaspoon (fresh)

1 cup (grated)
panko breadcrumbs
1 cup (or fresh breadcrumbs)
dried oregano
1 teaspoon (dried)
salt
1/2 teaspoon (to taste)
pepper
to taste (freshly ground)
paprika
1/2 teaspoon (to taste)

1/4 cup (melted)
light mayonnaise
1/3 cup (for dipping sauce)
Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons (for dipping sauce)

Instructions
1
Prepare the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce by combining the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey in a small bowl. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
2
To prepare the chicken, place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat pounder or a rolling pin, pound the chicken until it is uniformly 1/2 inch thick.
3
Cut the flattened chicken breasts lengthwise on the diagonal into strips measuring 4 inches by 1-1/2 inches.
4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and crushed garlic until well combined. For a lighter option, you can substitute with Egg Creations.
5
In a shallow bowl, combine the finely grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs (or fresh breadcrumbs), dried oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly.
6
Take each chicken strip and dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Next, dredge each strip in the cheese and breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to ensure an even coating.
7
Place the coated chicken strips on a greased baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the strips.
8
Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown, crispy, and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
9
Serve immediately with the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce and crunchy raw vegetables on the side for an extra crunch.
