How to Make Baked Panko Chicken Strips

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice chicken breasts into 1-inch thick strips.
  3. Season chicken strips generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices (e.g., 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp onion powder).
  4. Place ½ cup all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken strips in flour, shaking off any excess.
  5. In a separate shallow dish, lightly beat 2 large egg whites until slightly frothy.
  6. Spread 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs on a large plate.
  7. Dip each floured chicken strip into the egg whites, ensuring it's fully coated.
  8. Immediately coat the egg-dipped chicken strip in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  9. Repeat step 7 and 8 for double breading and extra crunch.
  10. Place breaded chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each strip.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the panko is golden brown. Check for doneness by slicing through a thick piece – it should be no longer pink inside.
  12. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (try our True Lemon Chicken Sauce #51884!) and rice.
