Instructions
- Cut the chicken breast into strips, about 1 inch wide.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
- In another shallow bowl, mix together the flour, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Carefully add the chicken tenders in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken tenders to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, ranch, or barbecue sauce.
Tips
- For extra crunch, consider double-dipping the chicken strips in the egg and breadcrumb mixture.
- You can spice up the flavor by adding cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the egg mixture.
- Try baking the chicken tenders at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes for a healthier alternative.
