Ingredients for Rainbow Chicken Strips

  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 cup crushed Goldfish crackers

How to Make Rainbow Chicken Strips

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch wide strips.
  3. In a large plastic bag, combine 1 ½ cups breadcrumbs, 1 cup crushed Goldfish crackers, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon paprika. Crush mixture until coarsely textured.
  4. Drizzle chicken strips with 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Add chicken strips to the breadcrumb mixture and shake the bag until all strips are fully coated.
  6. Arrange chicken strips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy! Pair with your favorite dipping sauce.

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.
