Inspired by one of my subscribers here is an easy and family friendly recipe.
This week we are making – Baked Parmesan Chicken Strips. They are oven baked and so easy to put together, super crunchy and full of flavor. Bonus: cost is under $10!
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts = cut into 16 strips
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp dried or fresh parsley
- 4 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 1/2 tbsp red paprika
- pinch of pepper or more to taste
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut the chicken into 16 strips.
- In a wide, shallow bowl – mix together the Panko, Parmesan, parsley, paprika, salt & pepper. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in microwave safe dish, add minced garlic and lemon juice.
- Dip the chicken strips in the melted butter mixture.
- Coat the chicken in the breadcrumbs.
- Place the chicken on the baking sheet. Do not overcrowd.
- Repeat until done.
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
TIPS: I used shredded Parmesan cheese but I would recommend using grated. It will stick better. Also if you have any breadcrumb mixture left over, use it to spoon over the strips before you bake them. Adds a bit more crunch. You can also skip the lemon and use more butter but it does give it a bit of a tang, which I like!
We served this with Cauliflower Mac n Cheese but you can also serve it over baked ziti, spaghetti, mashed or baked potatoes.
Enjoy.
Definitely adding this one to my collection! Can smell it from here. 😯
Thank you!
