How to Make Cajun Chicken Fingers And Sweet Potato Fries

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss sweet potato fries with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, and optional paprika.
  3. Spread fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly crispy.
  5. While fries bake, prepare chicken: In three separate shallow dishes, place flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs.
  6. Season chicken strips with 3/4 tbsp Cajun seasoning, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  7. Dredge each chicken strip in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, ensuring it's fully coated.
  8. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  9. Carefully place chicken strips in the hot oil and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Remove chicken from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  11. Serve immediately with the baked sweet potato fries. Enjoy!
