How to Make Baked Panko Chicken Strips
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice chicken breasts into 1-inch thick strips.
- 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).
- Place ½ cup all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken strips in flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a separate shallow dish, lightly beat 2 large egg whites until slightly frothy.
- Spread 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs on a large plate.
- Dip each floured chicken strip into the egg whites, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Immediately coat the egg-dipped chicken strip in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Repeat step 7 and 8 for double breading and extra crunch.
- Place breaded chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each strip.
- 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.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (try our True Lemon Chicken Sauce #51884!) and rice.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
